Abstract: Fracture healing is usually monitored by clinical impressions and radiographs. Objective and easy methods for assessing fracture healing without radiation would be beneficial. The aim of this study was to analyse whether weight and plantar pressure while standing can be used to monitor healing of tibial or malleolar fractures and whether these parameters can discriminate between patients with and without union. Thirteen patients were longitudinally assessed during each postoperative clinical visit, of whom two developed a nonunion. Eleven matched healthy controls were assessed once. Additionally, five patients already experiencing nonunion were assessed once at the time of their nonunion diagnosis. All participants performed a standing task for ten seconds with pressure-sensing insoles. Greatest improvements were detected throughout the first three months in patients with union. However, six months after surgery, more than half of the parameters were still significantly different from those of the controls. The weight and pressure distributions did not differ between patients with or without union six months after surgery. A standing task can be used to monitor improvements in weight and pressure distribution throughout the healing process of tibial or malleolar fractures, but lacks potential to discriminate between patients with or without fracture union.
