placement of full weight (on a joint)...
Explanation:
Approximately, "...On average, the joint was able to bear [the patient's] full weight after 25 +/-5 days..." (that is, 20 to 30 days after surgery).

Alternatively phrased, especially if the patients or study subjects are human, "...the patients were able to place their full weight on the joint..."

You get the idea. Meanwhile, here are a couple of references:

"... dimesso in terza giornata con carico libero ed arco di movimento completo ..." (first web site)

"... fu consentito il carico libero sull'arto inferiore sinistro ..." (second web site)

Cheers,
HC
