About this study

Official title: Proximal Metatarsal Medial Opening Wedge Osteotomy Fixed by Plate and Screws in Correction of Hallux Valgus

The outcomes of the correction of hallux valgus by proximal opening wedge osteotomy

Read the detailed description

Hallux valgus is a common cause of foot pain and deformity in the adult and adolescent population, which often requires surgical treatment when nonsurgical treatments fail.

During the past decades, multiple modified procedures and fixation techniques have been described.

The most common types of osteotomies of the first metatarsal are crescentic, chevron, scarf and lateral or medial opening wedge techniques.

A concern with the Chevron and other distal osteotomies is the development of avascular necrosis of the first metatarsal head with a reported incidence of between 0% and 20%.

On the other side, the proximal dome osteotomy along with a distal soft tissue release is an excellent procedure. The proximal location of the osteotomy avoids devascularization of the metatarsal head, and the crescent shape maintains the length of the metatarsal. It allows a high degree of correction at the intermetatarsal angle in severe deformities.

When the condition is associated with an increased intermetatarsal angle, a surgical technique using a proximal first metatarsal osteotomy is often indicated. A proximal opening wedge osteotomy stabilized with a wedge and plate configuration offers a stable, reliable means to correct the increased intermetatarsal angle.

Over the past 10 years, some surgeons have increasingly used locking plates instead of a single screw for stabilisation of the osteotomy with the assumption of better postoperative stability and preserved length of the first metatarsal. In addition, fixation with a plate has been described as technically less challenging.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hallux Valgus and Bunion, run by Assiut University.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 4 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Abdulrahman M Hussein Mohamed, Master (+2001063555610, Abd-Elrahman.20134151@med.aun.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society hallux-metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal scale (AOFAS scale). (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06584487, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 4 Sep 2024.
