This study investigates whether using cement with antibiotics can lower infection rates after hip surgery compared to cement without antibiotics. It includes 450 older adults with certain types of hip fractures. The study will check for infections after surgery, how well the hip implant stays in place, and the costs involved. Patients are randomly chosen and the study is blinded, meaning neither the doctors nor patients know who gets which cement. This research is led by IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele.
- Participation Length: The study will follow patients after surgery to track outcomes.
- Visits Required: Participants will need to attend follow-up visits post-surgery.
- Risks: There is a chance of allergic reactions to antibiotics used in the cement.
