Early Weight Bearing in Unicondylar Tibial Plateau Fractures

NCT06389240 · Status: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2026-04-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators aim of the study is to assess the effects of early mobilization after surgically treated unicondylar tibia plateau fractures (6 weeks without weight bearing) on gait, patient satisfaction, return to work/sports and complication rate. The data will be compared to a 10-12 week non-weight bearing group (standard of care).

It is assumed that earlier mobilization does not lead to an increase in the complications - in particular osteosynthesis failure and infections -, but leads to improved patient satisfaction, reduced return to work/sports times, and has a positive impact on the overall outcome

Conditions

  • Early Mobilization

Interventions

OTHER

6 weeks post-operatively early weight bearing

Early mobilization 6 weeks post-operatively. Gait analyses is carried out on when full mobilization is allowed. Gait analysis is performed while using force-measuring insoles (loadsol, Novel).

OTHER

10 weeks post-operatively weight bearing (standard of care)

Standard of care mobilization at 10 weeks post-operatively. Gait analyses is carried out on when full mobilization is allowed. Gait analysis is performed while using force-measuring insoles (loadsol, Novel).
