NCT ID NCT05720806
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether letting people put weight on their hip as soon as they can after hip labral repair and femoroplasty helps them recover faster. 49 participants were followed after surgery to see if early weight bearing improved hip function and quality of life without causing harm. The goal is to see if the usual 2-6 weeks of limited weight bearing is needed.
