Inclusion criteria

- Adults aged 65 years and older undergoing surgical repair for an intertrochanteric or femoral neck hip fracture are eligible for the study. Fracture fixation can be with cannulated screws, a sliding hip screw (or similar device), a short cephalomedullary nail, or a long cephalomedullary nail.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with pre-operative delirium;
  • Patients with a periprosthetic or peri implant fracture;
  • Patients at risk for malignant hyperthermia (history of malignant hyperthermia, family history of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, history of rhabdomyolysis);
  • Patients with to local anesthesia;
  • considered unsuitable for randomization by the surgeon or anesthesiologist on the basis of the physician's clinical assessment (e.g. severe pulmonary disease);
  • treated with hip arthroplasty
  • received a preoperative peripheral nerve block; or
  • severe dementia defined as pre-operative score \< 15.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

MMSE and MoCA

Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Enrollment Rate

    Time frame: End-of-study (up to 90 days)

  2. Percentage of completeness of data collected

    Time frame: End-of-study (up to 90 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for Confusion Assessment Method (3D-CAM) score

    The 3D-CAM also produces a delirium severity score which ranges from 0 to 20 (higher scores indicate higher delirium severity).

    Time frame: Discharge from hospital (up to 5 days postoperative)

Timeline

2 registry updates since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2027, 13 months after the start.

Of 221 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hip Fractures, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 55. This study's planned 13 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 237 studies reached it within 29 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 57.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
