Evaluation of a Novel Immediate Graded Weight-bearing Protocol and its Effect on the Formation of Fracture Callus in Femoral Shaft Fractures Fixed with Intramedullary Interlocking Nails: A Prospective Interventional Cohort Study

Evaluation of a Novel Immediate Graded Weight-bearing Protocol and its Effect on the Formation of Fracture Callus in Femoral Shaft Fractures Fixed with Intramedullary Interlocking Nails: A Prospective Interventional Cohort Study

Aim and background: We formulated a novel immediate graded weight-bearing postoperative protocol for femoral fractures fixed with nails and aim to determine the safety and efficacy of the same and its effect on callus formation, fracture healing, functional outcomes, and implant failure rate.
