Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. 18-60 years of age
  • 2. Open or closed fractures of the tibial plateau, pilon, ankle or calcaneus requiring surgical fixation.
  • 1. Gustilo type IIIB or IIIC injuries
  • 2. No other surgically or non-surgically treated injuries that impact gait (e.g. upper extremity injury proximal to the elbow; spinal cord injury; contralateral or ipsilateral fractures).
  • 3. Neurologic impairment or deficit that impairs gait
  • 4. Prior injuries or conditions that alter gait (e.g. severe osteoarthritis)
  • 5. Severe problems with maintaining follow-up (e.g. participants who are prisoners, who are intellectually challenged without adequate family support, or have documented psychiatric disorders).
  • 6. Unable to provide informed consent in English or Spanish.
