About
Hip fracture is a common and severe disease in elderly patients. The question of the study is whether elderly patients with severe osteopenia have significantly lower levels of the collagen-binding protein Hsp47 than relatively mobile patients due to advanced immobility before the fracture, and whether they participants have a similar risk of VTE to the normal population despite having had a hip fracture and surgery.
Full description
In this study, the investigators aimed to prospectively measure the Hsp 47 gene expression levels in patients scheduled for surgery due to intertrochanteric femur fracture and healthy volunteers in the same age group and compare the results with the literature.
Also the complications prior or after surgery will be compared.
