This study, called HIP ATTACK-2, is looking at whether having hip fracture surgery sooner can help patients who also have a heart muscle injury (myocardial injury). You might be able to join if you are 45 or older, have a hip fracture from a minor fall, and show signs of heart muscle injury through a blood test (troponin elevation). The study compares accelerated medical clearance and surgery (aiming for surgery within 6 hours of meeting criteria) to standard care. Researchers want to see if faster surgery reduces deaths within 90 days after joining the study. They will also look at how well people can walk, how quickly they can move around, and other complications, pain, and quality of life.

Study design
