What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effects of using a tourniquet during hallux valgus surgery, specifically bunion surgery. It is a prospective, single-center, randomized interventional trial where patients will serve as their own controls, allowing for a direct comparison of outcomes between surgeries performed with and without a tourniquet. The study aims to evaluate the impact of tourniquet use on surgical outcomes and recovery.
