Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This pilot study evaluates the effectiveness of a percutaneous osteotomy technique, specifically the SERI osteotomy and Chevron method, for correcting hallux valgus, commonly known as bunions. It employs a randomized controlled design to assess outcomes in patients who meet specific criteria for surgical intervention. The study aims to gather preliminary data on the safety and efficacy of this minimally invasive approach compared to traditional surgical methods.
