New treatment option for Pelvic Fractures
Official title Early Partial Weight-bearing May Improve Functional Recovery Without Increasing Complications Despite This Potential, Limited Randomized Studies Have Evaluated Early Weight-bearing After Pelvic Fixation Surgeries
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07538726
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare between the effect of immediate weight bearing (WB) versus delayed weight bearing in improving function, pain, gait, quality of reduction radiologically, muscle strength, and quality of life outcomes in individuals who underwent specific pelvic fixation surgeries.
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
Ages 18 to 55
You may be able to join if
- Age ≥ 18 to 55 years
- Traumatic fractures indicated for pelvic fixation.
- All Types B after stable anterior and / or posterior fixation.
- Type C, Stable fixation: Posterior fixation by triangular osteosynthesis. oTrans-iliac trans-sacral screw fixation or Trans iliac plate or posterior...
- Excellent to good quality of fracture reduction by Matta and Tornetta radiological assessment.
You likely can't join if
- Associated lower extremity fractures that independently restrict or contraindicate weight-bearing activities.
- Bilateral unstable after fixation pelvic ring disruption.
- Patients with associated spinal cord injury, as neurological deficits may alter gait, functional recovery, and weight-bearing capacity, thereby...
- Current history of acute systemic infection, active Bone inflammatory disease, (e.g., osteomyelitis, chronic non-bacterial osteitis), or malignancy...
- Uncontrolled Diabetes
- Cancer
