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 bunions (hallux valgus). It helps us understand if walking changes pain or foot function, which may guide better treatment advice.
This study looks at how your shoe size and the shape of the front of your foot change after bunion surgery. The goal is to better predict what shoes will fit after recovery, so you can plan for your new shoe size.
This study tests whether custom foot supports (orthoses) can reduce pain from bunions, which are bony bumps at the base of the big toe. If you have a painful bunion, you might find relief by wearing these supports in your shoes.
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 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 follows people who had surgery to fuse their big toe joint (usually for arthritis or bunion) and want to know if they can safely return to cross-country skiing and other physical activities. Researchers want to understand how well the surgery works for getting back to an active lifestyle.
