A study testing a new stitch for bunion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to close the incision during a specific type of bunion surgery (called a Chevron osteotomy). The goal is to see if this stitch helps with healing and reduces scarring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your bunion is mild to moderate and your doctor thinks a Chevron osteotomy would help.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have a connective tissue disease (like lupus or scleroderma).
- You do not have a severe bunion or a bunion that started in childhood.
- You have not had bunion surgery on this foot before.

This trial tests a treatment for pain after bunion surgery. It may help if you are having a bunionectomy.
This trial compares two ways of closing the belly incision after open liver surgery to see which best lowers the chance of getting an incisional hernia (a bulge near the scar). It may help by guiding surgeons toward the closure method that prevents hernias better.
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 pilot study tests a minimally invasive (through small skin openings) correction to improve the alignment of a bunion (hallux valgus). It may help people who are already being advised to have bunion surgery, but who fit specific bone alignment measurements and safety criteria.
This study tests a newer, less invasive surgery for bunions that uses a small screw to fix the joint. It aims to see if adding a tiny camera (arthroscopy) helps with recovery.
This trial studies whether using a tourniquet (a tight band to control bleeding) during bunion surgery affects recovery. If you're having both feet corrected on the same day, this study may help doctors decide the best way to do the surgery.
