Weight Bearing After Pelvis and Acetabulum Fracture Fixation
This study is looking at how quickly people can put weight on their leg after surgery for a broken pelvis or acetabulum (hip socket). Doctors usually recommend waiting 6-12 weeks, but this study wants to see if putting weight on it sooner is safe and helpful. You would be randomly assigned to either start putting weight on your leg right away after surgery, or to wait 6-12 weeks. The main goal is to find out if it's practical to do a larger study on this topic, by seeing if doctors and patients are willing to participate, if patients follow instructions, and if follow-up care can be managed well. This study is open to adults aged 18 and older who have had surgery for a pelvis or acetabulum fracture.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study that will enroll 200 participants across 7 medical centers. Participants will be randomly assigned to either immediate or delayed weight bearing after surgery.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will have their clinic follow-up rates measured at 3 months after surgery, and documentation of their weight bearing status will be checked at 12 months.
