Testing walking weight after hip socket surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether it’s safe and helpful to start putting weight on the leg after surgery for a broken hip socket. It compares two different early walking (mobilisation) plans to see which leads to better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a one-sided (unilateral) dislocated hip socket fracture seen on CT
- Your surgery to fix it happened within 21 days after the injury
- You’re able and willing to come back for follow-up visits
- Your injury pattern must match the trial’s allowed fracture types (not certain complex types)
- You must be able to do partial weight bearing as instructed

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 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.
This study compares starting to put weight on your injured leg sooner versus waiting before walking. It aims to see which approach is safer and helps recovery after specific pelvic, hip, knee, and ankle fractures treated with surgery.
This trial tests whether starting to put weight on your leg right after surgery for a broken pelvis or hip socket helps you recover better. It compares immediate weight bearing with a delayed approach.
This study looks at how to best surgically fix unstable pelvic and acetabular (hip socket) fractures, comparing different operative approaches. You might benefit if your goal is stable healing with a less invasive internal fixation method, but the study requires specific fracture types and long follow-up time.
