Compare early vs partial weight bearing after bunion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares whether it’s safer to put weight on your foot early versus only partly after bunion surgery. It may help your care team choose the best recovery plan for healing and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having modified Lapidus bunion surgery on your foot.
- Your surgery also includes extra steps (like Akin on the big toe joint, or other procedures on the 2nd/3rd bones).
- You can and are willing to follow all study instructions and visits.
- You can understand the study and follow the plan (language/mental health/cognitive limits are checked).
- You are able to have the recovery plan being tested (your doctors don’t see reasons you cannot).
- You are not currently pregnant and can sign informed consent.

This study tests a new type of bandage or dressing used after bunion (hallux valgus) surgery. It aims to see if this dressing works better than the usual dressing to help your foot heal.
This study checks how your foot size and shape change after a common bunion surgery called Scarf + P1 osteotomy. It uses a safe 3D scanner to measure your foot before and after surgery, and may help understand what to expect after the procedure.
This trial studies results after a combined bunion and forefoot alignment surgery to improve foot shape and function. It may help people whose foot angles show significant bunion and front-of-foot deformity.
This trial tests if using a connected app to do self-guided rehab at home helps people recover better after bunion (hallux valgus) surgery. It may offer a convenient way to follow your exercises and track progress.
This study asks people having bunion (hallux valgus) surgery to provide information so researchers can better predict which results are most likely after surgery. It may help improve care for future patients by identifying factors linked to better or worse outcomes.
This study tests a new computer-guided system to help surgeons perform bunion correction surgery (called a Lapidus procedure) more accurately. Participants will receive this guided surgery along with a standard implant, and researchers will track how well the surgery works and how patients recover.
