Bunion surgery complications laid bare in new study
NCT ID NCT04986358
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 479 patients who had surgery for hallux valgus (a bunion on the big toe). The goal was to track any complications that happened within two years after the operation, and to see how satisfied patients were. The researchers collected information on the type and severity of complications, and asked patients to rate their satisfaction. This study did not test a new treatment, but rather aimed to better understand what happens after standard bunion surgery.
