Weight bearing after pelvic fracture surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares different weight-bearing instructions after surgery for a broken pelvis or hip socket. It aims to find the best way to help you recover and walk again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You had surgery to fix a broken pelvis or hip socket.
- You do not have other leg fractures that would prevent you from putting weight on the repaired area.
- You do not have arm or hand injuries that would make using crutches or a walker difficult.
- You were able to walk before your injury.
- You can follow instructions and attend follow-up visits.

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 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 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.
This study tests whether putting weight on your leg soon after surgery for a broken thigh bone (near the knee) is safe and helps you recover faster. It may help you get back to walking more quickly.
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 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.
