Weight-bearing plans after hip socket surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two different recovery plans after surgery for a broken hip socket. You will be assigned to one of two weight-bearing schedules, and researchers will see which one leads to better healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single broken hip socket (acetabulum) that is out of place by more than 2 millimeters.
- You have surgery to fix the fracture within 21 days of the injury.
- You do not have fractures on both sides of your pelvis.
- You are able to put some weight on your leg as part of recovery.
- You have not had a hip replacement on the injured side.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 40.

This study compares two ways of fixing a recently broken acetabulum (the hip socket): one method keeps/repairs the socket (ORIF) and the other replaces it (THA). It aims to find which surgery approach leads to better outcomes for people who can have surgery soon after the injury.
This study compares two ways to fix a specific type of hip socket fracture (posterior wall fracture) using a rim plate or a buttress plate, with or without extra screws. It aims to find the best approach for healing.
This research study collects information about children who have broken their hip socket (the cup-shaped bone that holds the thighbone). Researchers at University of Utah hospitals want to understand how these fractures heal and what outcomes children have over time.
This study is observing people with pelvic ring and acetabular (hip-joint socket) fractures to better understand what happens over time. It may help doctors improve care, even though it does not test a new treatment.
This trial tests a minimally invasive, endoscopic (camera-guided) surgery to fix fractures of the hip socket (acetabulum). It may help people with this type of hip fracture recover with less pain and shorter hospital stays.
This trial studies rehabilitation after a tibia (shinbone) shaft fracture that is fixed with a metal nail. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and to take part in a rehab plan that aims to improve recovery after injury.
