Weight bearing after pelvic fracture surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had surgery for a broken pelvis or hip socket
- You do not have another broken leg that would stop you from putting weight on the repaired side
- You do not have an arm or shoulder injury that makes using a walker or crutches hard
- You have no other major injuries or health problems that would prevent you from following the study plan
