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 compares two ways of recovering after surgery for an unstable ankle fracture. Some people start putting weight on the ankle early, while others wait longer, and the study uses special shoe insoles to track how much weight you put on it.
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.
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.
