Study Details

This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing outcomes between geriatric hip fractures who received a commercially available (XR RecoveryTM, Salt Lake City Utah) peri-operative nutritional supplement for three weeks post-operatively to those who receive standard nutritional counseling. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does supplementation decrease muscle loss via ultrasound measurements of the cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris of the uninjured leg?
