Bunion surgery showdown: to fix or not to fix?
NCT ID NCT02984462
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two ways to do bunion (hallux valgus) surgery. In one method, a small screw is used to hold the bone in place; in the other, no screw is used. The goal was to see which approach leads to better toe movement one year after surgery. 58 adults who needed bunion surgery took part, and the researchers measured how well the big toe joint moved.
