Summary

This study looks at whether patients with surgically treated leg, pelvis, or hip socket fractures can safely start walking right away instead of waiting 6-12 weeks. About 100 adults will be randomly assigned to immediate weightbearing or delayed weightbearing. The goal is to see if this approach is practical for a larger future trial, focusing on how many people enroll, stay in the study, and follow instructions correctly.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Fracture of the acetabulum, pelvis, distal femur, distal tibia, including those with intra- articular extension, that meets surgical indications. * Operative treatment within 7 days of injury at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, University of Maryland, University of Maryland Medical System, University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center. * Provision of informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Non English Speaking. * Cognitive ability does not allow for full understanding of study procedures ( Patient has been diagnosed with psychiatric condition, intellectually challenged without adequate family support). * Patient has other orthopaedic or non-orthopaedic injuries that would preclude him/her from being able to weight bear immediately (e.g. open fractures, polytrauma. * Significant impaction (\>2mm) or comminution at joint surface (e.g. with acetabulum, distal femur, tibial plateau, or tibial plafond fractures). * Patients who would not be able to immediately weight bear or comply with weight bearing restrictions. * Not willing to be randomized. * Surgeon or clinical follow will not occur at participating hospital or location. * Anticipated problems with follow up in the judgement of study personnel ( patient is homeless).
