- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To identify difference in gait patterns among <br/ ><br>patients with early weight bearing protocol and <br/ ><br>late weight bearing protocol by measuring lower <br/ ><br>limb symmetry indices after osteosynthesis of <br/ ><br>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 Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To study the difference between early and late <br/ ><br>weight bearing protocol after osteosynthesis of <br/ ><br>proximal tibia fractures on <br/ ><br>functional and radiological outcome.Timepoint: Functional outcome at 6 months. Radiological outcome immediately after surgery and at 6 months post-operatively.
