CSF Cholinergic Biomarkers and Postoperative Cognitive Change

Completed
Conditions
Fracture of Lower Limb
Knee Osteoarthritis
Necrosis of Femoral Head
Registration Number
NCT02063542
Lead Sponsor
RenJi Hospital
Brief Summary

Previous study demonstrated that the condition of central cholinergic nerve is important for the postoperative cognitive dysfunction. In present study investigators hypothesized that the acetylcholine concentration in the cerebral spinal fluid is associated to the postoperative cognitive changes in aged patients undergoing osteopathic surgery.
