Surgery for a floating toe with or without a bone cut
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies how best to repair a “floating toe” using a specific foot surgery approach. It compares whether the repair should be done alone or combined with another bone procedure (a Weil osteotomy).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
