About this study

The purpose of this study was to compare a minimally invasive scarf technique and the well-established open scarf technique for correction of hallux valgus deformity.

Read the detailed description

Hallux valgus surgery is a common procedure being the open scarf osteotomy, one of the most studied techniques for correction of the hallux valgus. It is widely reported its capacity to reduce the angle of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint.

Minimally invasive scarf (MIS) technique has been designed to decrease the soft tissue damage and postoperative pain. This procedure does not require ischemia, being able to do under local anesthesia and sedation. This technique is more suitable for outpatient surgery.

There is a lack of studies comparing both techniques, and our purpose is to do a prospective comparative study among the two approaches of the scarf osteotomy: open vs MIS.

    Measured: 1 year - 2 years

  2. First metatarso-phalangeal range of movement

    The range of movement of the first metatarso-phalangeal joint

    Measured: 1 year - 2 years

  3. Surgery duration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Open Scarf Osteotomy and Minimally invasive scarf Osteotomy in people with Hallux Valgus and Bunion (Disorder), run by Hospital Mutua de Terrassa at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hallux valgus angle postoperative (time frame: 1 year - 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2018.
