Trial of Weight Bearing Status Following Femoral Revision With Tapered, Fluted, Titanium Stems

October 19, 2020 updated by: Rothman Institute Orthopaedics

Randomized Controlled Trial of Weight Bearing Status Following Femoral Revision With Tapered, Fluted, Titanium Stems

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial of all patients undergoing femoral revision at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and Rothman Institute undergoing femoral revision surgery with the use of a modern titanium, fluted, tapered stem. At the time of surgery, patients will be randomized to six weeks of toe-touch weight bearing or immediate weight bearing as tolerated
