About this study
Official title: Can we 'Hear' Femoral Neck Fractures? Ultrasound Guided Diagnosis of Femoral Neck Fractures.
Hip (femoral neck and pertrochanteric) fractures account for a significant part of Emergency Department (ED) visits after trauma. Studies suggest that point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a reliable diagnostic tool for fracture assessment. POCUS has several advantages over conventional radiography, such as being portable, cheaper and radiation free. In addition, immediate conversion to ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia upon diagnosis of fracture can improve patient's time to proper analgesia. Moreover, POCUS can potentially be used pre-hospital to rule out hip fractures reducing ED crowding, as well as being a solution for areas where radiography is not readily available (e.g. rural or developing areas).
The primary objective of this study, is to evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of POCUS regarding patients with suspected hip fracture after trauma compared to radiography, the current standard of care diagnostic tool.

Rationale: Hip (femoral neck and pertrochanteric) fractures account for a significant part of Emergency Department (ED) visits after trauma. Studies suggest that point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a reliable diagnostic tool for fracture assessment. POCUS has several advantages over conventional radiography, such as being portable, cheaper and radiation free. In addition, immediate conversion to ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia upon diagnosis of fracture can improve patient's time to proper analgesia. Moreover, POCUS can potentially be used pre-hospital to rule out hip fractures reducing ED crowding, as well as being a solution for areas where radiography is not readily available (e.g. rural or developing areas).
Objective: Our primary objective is to evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of POCUS regarding patients with suspected hip fracture after trauma compared to radiography, the current standard of care diagnostic tool.
Study design: Prospective cohort study. Study population: All patients aged 18 and older presenting to the ED with a painful hip after trauma suspected of hip fracture are eligible to be enrolled in this study.
Intervention: Patients enrolled in the study will undergo POCUS of the hip (femoral neck) by the (resident) emergency physician, prior to radiograph imaging.
Main study parameters/endpoints: Sensitivity, specificity, positive predicting value (PPV) and negative predicting value (NPV) of POCUS in detecting hip fractures by assessing for posttraumatic changes (cortical disruptions, joint effusion and peritrochanteric edema).
Informed consent will be requested and documented.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Hip (femoral neck and pertrochanteric) fractures account for a significant part of Emergency Department (ED) visits after trauma. Studies suggest that point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a reliable diagnostic tool for fracture assessment. POCUS has several advantages over conventional radiography, such as being portable, cheaper and radiation free. In addition, immediate conversion to ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia upon diagnosis of fracture can improve patient's time to proper analgesia. Moreover, POCUS can potentially be used pre-hospital to rule out hip fractures reducing ED crowding, as well as being a solution for areas where radiography is not readily available (e.g. rural or developing areas).
The primary objective of this study, is to evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of POCUS regarding patients with suspected hip fracture after trauma compared to radiography, the current standard of care diagnostic tool.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing POCUS of the hip in people with Hip Fractures (i.e. Femoral Neck or Intertrochanteric Hip Fractures), run by Frisius Medisch Centrum at 1 site in Netherlands.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Diagnostic accuracy of POCUS (time frame: From enrollment to the end of POCUS, approximately 10 to 30 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06765083, which also lists 14 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jul 2026.
