One vs two wires for severe bunion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have pain on the inside of your big toe joint.
- X-rays show that your big toe is angled more than 20 degrees and the bones behind it are widened more than 10 degrees.
- You have tried non-surgical treatments (like special shoes or pads) for at least 8 months, and they haven't helped enough.
- You are willing to come back for check-ups with X-rays and questionnaires for one year after surgery.

This trial compares two approaches for treating mild-to-moderate bunion pain: surgery versus non-surgical options like wearing wider shoes, toe spacers, or physical therapy. The goal is to see which works better for relieving pain and improving daily life.
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 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.
This study compares whether it’s safer to put weight on your foot early versus only partly after bunion surgery. It may help your care team choose the best recovery plan for healing and comfort.
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 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.
