Return to cross-country skiing after big toe fusion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people return to cross-country skiing and other physical activities after surgery to fuse the big toe joint. If you had this surgery for a stiff or severely misaligned big toe, researchers want to understand your recovery and activity level.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery to fuse the joint of your big toe because of hallux rigidus (stiff big toe) or severe hallux valgus (bunion).
- You were between 18 and 60 years old on the day of that surgery.
- At least one year has passed since your surgery, but it has been no more than five years.
- You can read and speak Norwegian.
- You do not have any problems with walking, are willing to cooperate, and have not had other toe bone surgery or a failed fusion.

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 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 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 looks at how well bunion (hallux valgus) surgery works, especially when there is cartilage damage in the joint. The goal is to see what factors predict better or worse outcomes after treatment.
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.
