Immediate Versus Late Weight Bearing After Tibial Plateau Fractures Internal Fixation

NCT05502679 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 56

Last updated 2024-08-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Postoperative rehabilitation for tibial plateau fracture generally involves prolonged non-weight bearing time while other protocols use partial weight-bearing and bracing before full weight-bearing is recommended at 9 to 12 weeks following surgical fixation. No study to date has investigated the effect of standardized pragmatic exercise protocol added to immediate weight bearing after tibial plateau fractures surgical fixation on patient's functional outcomes, knee ROM, pain, radiographic boney alignment, gait, and return to work.
