Protected full weight-bearing after ankle fracture surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares early full weight-bearing with partial weight-bearing after surgery for unstable ankle fractures. It uses special insoles to monitor your weight-bearing, which may help you recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an unstable ankle fracture that was treated with surgery
- You are 18 years or older
- Your ankle injury is not part of multiple serious injuries (polytrauma)
- You do not have dementia or other cognitive problems that affect decision-making
- You are not pregnant

This trial compares two rehab plans after ankle fracture surgery: putting weight on the ankle right away versus waiting. It aims to see which approach is safer and better for healing and recovery.
This study compares whether it’s safer to put weight on your foot early versus only partly after bunion surgery. It may help your care team choose the best recovery plan for healing and comfort.
This trial compares two rehabilitation plans after ankle surgery: starting weight bearing sooner versus later. It may help people with diabetes heal safely and reduce complications related to healing and foot sensation.
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 tests whether patients can safely put weight on their leg earlier than usual after pelvic fracture surgery, and whether this helps them recover movement and function faster. Researchers will compare early partial weight-bearing to standard care.
This trial studies whether “permissive weight bearing” (walking with allowed weight) is safe and helpful after surgery for a displaced heel bone fracture. It’s meant to improve recovery while protecting the healing bone.
