Official title
A Pilot Study to Assess the Feasibility of a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial Investigating Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture Patients Who Receive Metformin With a Placebo
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators central hypothesis is that metformin supplementation will be well-tolerated, safe, and provide patients with improved functional and muscle morphology outcomes following intertrochanteric femur fracture. The objectives will be tested in older adults that sustain a hip fracture and are randomized to receive a daily oral dose (1.5g daily) of metformin or a non-active placebo during 4 months of recovery following surgery.
