Study asks: should fracture patients walk sooner?
NCT ID NCT05595148
Summary
This study is a first step to see if a larger trial is possible. It aims to find out if researchers can successfully recruit patients and collect good data to compare two recovery approaches after leg or hip fracture surgery: walking immediately versus waiting 6-12 weeks. The goal is to gather enough evidence to launch a bigger, definitive study on which method is safer and better for healing.
