Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To identify difference in gait patterns among patients with early weight bearing protocol and late weight bearing protocol by measuring lower limb symmetry indices after osteosynthesis of proximal tibia fractures.Timepoint: Clinical and radiological assessment at 15th day, 30th day, 45th day, 60th day, 3 month and 6 month post-operatively. Gait and biomarker analysis at 6 months post-operatively.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To study the difference between early and late weight bearing protocol after osteosynthesis of proximal tibia fractures on functional and radiological outcome.Timepoint: Functional outcome at 6 months. Radiological outcome immediately after surgery and at 6 months post-operatively.—
