Tourniquet use during bunion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
