What this means
This study plans to test whether muscle thickness, grip strength, and blood tests can predict frailty. It has not started yet, so it does not show whether these tests work.

Registry 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
