Summary
This study tests a sock and sleeve with special semiconductors that may help reduce pain and swelling after bunion surgery. About 115 adults aged 18 to 75 who are having bunion correction surgery will wear either the active sleeve or a placebo. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach improves recovery and foot function.
