Smart crutch tips for guided weight-bearing after shinbone fracture
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a smart crutch tip device that helps guide how much weight you put on your leg after a broken shinbone surgery. It aims to make recovery safer and more predictable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a smart crutch tip that helps guide how much weight you put on your leg while recovering from a broken shin bone. It is for people who have had surgery to fix the fracture and are learning to walk again with crutches.
This study tests a special crutch tip that helps guide how much weight you put on your leg after shinbone surgery. It may help you recover more safely by giving you feedback on your weight-bearing.
This trial tests whether a robot-assisted surgery can help realign and fix a broken shin bone (tibia) near the ankle. It may be an option for people with a simple, closed fracture who were able to walk before the injury.
This study looks at what factors predict healing and outcomes for a specific kind of shinbone fracture in the leg growth area. It may help doctors better estimate prognosis and choose care plans for similar fractures.
This study compares two ways of treating a specific type of broken upper part of the shinbone near the knee: surgery with plates/screws versus a knee joint replacement. It may help find which option works better for restoring knee function after these fractures.
This study tests whether starting to put weight on your leg early after surgery helps people with a certain type of shinbone fracture heal better. If you qualify, you'll receive standard surgery and then be assigned to either an early or a delayed weight bearing schedule.
