Self-rehab after foot surgery via app
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 85 years old.
- You are having your first bunion surgery on one foot only.
- Your big toe joint still moves freely before surgery.
- You own a smartphone or tablet.
- You have health insurance (social security).
- You must not have rheumatoid arthritis, a stiff big toe joint, or previous surgery that affects that joint.

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.
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 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 looks at whether doing more or less weight-bearing affects recovery after a first toe (1st MTP) joint fusion. It may help improve walking comfort and healing after surgery for people whose non-surgical treatments did not work.
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.
