Cervical Myelopathy in Hip Fracture Patients
Sponsor: Indiana University
Summary
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.
