How bunion surgery changes your shoe size
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have a symptomatic bunion that needs surgery (a specific type called Scarf osteotomy).

- You don't need surgery on your other toes at the same time.
- You don't have serious nerve or blood vessel problems in your legs, or active rheumatoid arthritis affecting your feet.
- You are able to attend follow-up visits at 6 weeks and 6 months.

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 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 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 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.
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 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.
