Summary

There is preliminary evidence that suggests early surgical treatment of a hip fracture may improve patients' outcomes. The investigators propose to do a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the feasibility of a large RCT comparing accelerated surgical repair (i.e. surgery within 6 hours of a hip fracture diagnosis) versus standard care (typically surgery after 36-48 hours).

Conditions

  • Hip Fractures

Interventions

OTHER
