VIRTUGUIDE System for Bunion Foot Surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new computer-guided system to help surgeons perform bunion correction surgery (called a Lapidus procedure) more accurately. Participants will receive this guided surgery along with a standard implant, and researchers will track how well the surgery works and how patients recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 22 years old
- You need bunion correction surgery (Lapidus procedure) for the first time—not a repeat surgery
- You can read and understand informed consent forms and study questions in an available language
- You are willing to have the VIRTUGUIDE System and DePuy Synthes implant used during your surgery
- You have no metal hardware already in the foot joint being operated on
- You have no allergies to implant materials

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 trial tests if using a connected app to do self-guided rehab at home helps people recover better after bunion (hallux valgus) surgery. It may offer a convenient way to follow your exercises and track progress.
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 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 safe and well an “Inion CompressOn” screw system works during foot and ankle operations. It may help patients by improving how surgeons fix bones while also collecting safety and recovery information.
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.
