Foot shape and big toe angle study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the length of your second toe relates to a condition called hallux valgus (a bunion, where the big toe angles toward the other toes). Researchers will measure foot X-rays to compare two common foot shapes: Greek foot (longer second toe) and Egyptian foot (shorter second toe).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 60 and 80 years old
- You have foot X-rays that can be measured
- You have never had foot surgery
- You have not had any broken bones or other injuries to your foot
- You do not have severe arthritis or other degenerative foot diseases seen on your X-rays

This study looks at how a long walk affects people with hallux valgus (a bunion). If you join, you'll walk for a while and the researchers will watch how your foot responds, which could help them understand better ways to manage bunions.
This study tests two different hand-on treatments for the big toe to see how they affect the pressure under your foot when you stand or walk. One treatment involves moving and stretching the joint, and the other is a 'sham' version that feels similar but is not the real treatment.
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 study tests whether wearing custom shoe inserts (orthoses) can reduce pain from bunions (hallux valgus) during walking and daily activities. Participants will wear the inserts in their shoes for the study period.
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.
