ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new type of surgery called endoscopic acetabulum surgery, which aims to improve the treatment of acetabulum fractures. The acetabulum is the part of the hip joint that helps connect the thigh bone to the pelvis. This trial is in the early phase and is currently looking for participants aged 65 to 74 who have suffered from this type of fracture. Unfortunately, those under 18 or who have had previous lower abdominal surgery cannot join.
If you or someone you know is eligible and decides to participate, you can expect to undergo this innovative minimally invasive surgery, which may offer benefits like less pain and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. The trial is still recruiting, so there is an opportunity to contribute to important research that could help improve hip fracture treatments in the future.
