What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether a structured rehabilitation program works better than usual physiotherapy for adults recovering from surgery to fix a traumatic tibial fracture. The program guides progression through four phases using set clinical and functional criteria, while respecting each person's weight-bearing limits. About 120 participants will be randomly assigned to the structured program or usual physiotherapy. The study measures leg function, mobility, pain, and walking independence to see which approach helps people recover better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a structured, criteria-based progressive loading and functional rehabilitation program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give physiotherapists a clear, step-by-step plan for helping people regain leg function after a broken shinbone is fixed with surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a single trial in one region, and rehabilitation results depend on many personal factors. The program may not outperform usual physiotherapy, and recovery can be slow regardless of the approach.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 120 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion criteria: * Age ≥18 years. * Traumatic unilateral tibial fracture involving the proximal tibia/tibial plateau, tibial shaft, or distal tibia. * Treated with surgical fixation. * Recruitment 2-8 weeks after the index fixation surgery. * Medically and surgically stable and cleared by the treating team to participate in physiotherapy. * Documented postoperative weight-bearing status/instructions from the treating orthopedic team. * Able to participate in the study rehabilitation and complete the planned functional assessments when permitted by weight-bearing status. * Able to understand study instructions and provide written informed consent. * Open fractures are eligible provided the wound is clinically stable, there is no active uncontrolled infection preventing rehabilitation, and rehabilitation has been authorized by the treating surgical team. Exclusion criteria: * Pathological fracture. * Unstable fixation, fixation failure, or any orthopedic/medical contraindication to progressive rehabilitation. * Active or uncontrolled infection requiring restriction or interruption of rehabilitation. * Lower-limb amputation affecting functional assessment. * Spinal cord injury or severe traumatic brain injury affecting mobility or ability to participate. * Pre-existing neurological disorder substantially affecting gait or lower-limb function. * Major concomitant injury to either lower limb that substantially limits walking or participation in the rehabilitation protocol. * Severe cognitive impairment preventing understanding of instructions, valid outcome assessment, or informed consent. * Any medical condition considered by the treating physician to make participation in the rehabilitation program unsafe.
