ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how treating cartilage damage in the big toe joint affects the recovery of patients undergoing surgery for hallux valgus, commonly known as a bunion. The researchers want to find out if addressing this cartilage issue during surgery can improve the overall outcomes for patients. Currently, there aren’t clear guidelines on how to treat these cartilage lesions, so this study aims to fill that gap.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between 30 and 60 years old and diagnosed with hallux valgus. Unfortunately, those with other significant foot problems or who are outside this age range cannot take part. Participants can expect to undergo a surgical procedure and will be monitored to see how their recovery progresses after treatment. This trial is currently recruiting, and anyone interested should speak with their healthcare provider to learn more about joining.
