Study Details

Recent evidence has demonstrated a high rate of undiagnosed cervical myelopathy in patients presenting with hip fractures from a ground level fall. Identification and treatment of cervical myelopathy can help prevent falls and future fragility fractures. The purpose of this study is to screen ground level fall hip fracture patients for cervical myelopathy using a history, physical exam, and then offer an MRI if indicated.

Arms

  • Experimental: Evaluation for Cervical Myelopathy
    Hip fracture patients who agree to participate will undergo a history and physical exam to specifically evaluate for clinical signs or symptoms of cervical myelopathy. If the history and physical exam is positive for such symptoms, a cervical MRI will be scheduled as part of standard care to further evaluate for this diagnosis. If the history and physical exam is negative for such symptoms, further clinical evaluation for this condition will not occur.

Primary Outcome Measure
