Screw options for bunion correction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of screws used in bunion (hallux valgus) surgery: a traditional metal screw and a screw made from donated human bone. The goal is to see if the bone screw is as safe and effective as the metal one for correcting the bunion.

This trial compares two ways of fixing the bone after bunion surgery (using one or two small wires). It's for people with severe bunions who haven't gotten better with non-surgical treatments.
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.
This study checks how safe and well an “Inion CompressOn” screw system works during foot and ankle operations. It may help patients by improving how surgeons fix bones while also collecting safety and recovery information.
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 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 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.
