A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the impact of treating cartilage lesions at the first metatarsophalangeal joint during corrective surgery for hallux valgus. It involves a randomized approach where patients are divided into two groups: one group will not receive treatment for cartilage lesions, while the other group will have their lesions treated through debridement and microfracture. The severity of cartilage lesions will be assessed using the ICRS scale and MS Hololens technology. Participants will complete questionnaires to assess their clinical outcomes pre- and post-surgery.
