Early weight-bearing after pelvic fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–55 years
- Recent pelvic fracture treated with surgery (specific types: Type B after stabilization, or Type C with stable fixation)
- Good-quality surgical repair confirmed by X-rays
- No other broken bones in the same leg that would prevent weight-bearing
- No spinal cord injury, serious infection, cancer, uncontrolled diabetes, or substance use disorder
- Able to attend follow-up visits and understand study instructions

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 study tests whether putting weight on your leg soon after a broken thigh bone near the knee is safe and helpful. It aims to see if early walking leads to faster recovery compared to waiting longer.
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.
