Predicting of Frailty
Sponsor: ali ihsan uysal
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the frailty status of elderly patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures (femur trochanteric fractures). Since frailty is a critical factor in surgical outcomes and recovery, researchers want to find simple, fast, and objective ways to measure it. This study will investigate muscle thickness measured by ultrasound, handgrip strength measured by a dynamometer, and routine blood test values can accurately predict a patient's frailty level. If these objective methods are proven effective, it will help anesthesia and surgical teams manage the perioperative process more safely for high-risk elderly patients
Official title: Comparison of Parameters That Can be Used to Predict Frailty in Elderly Femur Fracture Patients.

Clinical and Functional Assessment
Assessment of frailty status using the Clinical Frailty Scale and measurement of handgrip strength using a hand dynamometer (measured in kilograms). Ultrasonographic measurement of the rectus femoris muscle thickness (mm) and femur-skin distance (mm) conducted one day before surgery.
Rectus femoris thickness measurement
By using ultrasound linear prob the thickness of rectus femoris muscle will be measured
