Fitbit for surgery recovery: wearable tracks walking after bone graft
NCT ID NCT07522632
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a wearable device could measure how well people walked after a bone graft from the hip, with some patients also receiving a nerve block for pain. Thirty participants wore the device before and after surgery to track their steps and distance. The goal was to see if the nerve block helped people get moving sooner.
