Immediate weight bearing as tolerated versus delayed weight bearing following intramedullary fixation for geriatric intertrochanteric fractures: a post hoc analysis

Immediate weight bearing as tolerated versus delayed weight bearing following intramedullary fixation for geriatric intertrochanteric fractures: a post hoc analysis

Abstract Background Early weight bearing is crucial for fracture healing after osteosynthesis for intertrochanteric fractures (ITFs). The optimal period to start weight bearing after surgery is still under debate. The aim of this study was to compare immediate weight bearing (IWB) as tolerated with...
