Digital monitoring of weight-bearing improves success rates and reduces complications in lower extremity surgeries.

The aim of this study is to develop a digital monitoring system to track weight and evaluate its impact on postoperative outcomes after lower extremity surgeries (LES). This parallel randomized controlled trial enrolled 266 patients who underwent LES (fracture or joint replacement) at our medical center between March 11, 2022, and January 10, 2023. Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups in a 1:1 ratio.
