No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pre-operative carbohydrate and protein loading among older people with hip fractures could potentially influence patient outcomes. This mode of intervention has seen good outcomes in a general surgical setting as part of its enhanced recovery pathway. However, its effectiveness and ease of implementation in a hip fracture setting is uncertain. This study aims to study the feasibility of protein and carbohydrate loading as part of hip fracture management compared to usual care.
