Summary

randomized-controlled trial looking specifically at the effect of weight bearing on the outcomes of first MTP joint fusions

Detailed description

The objective of this prospective, randomized controlled trial is to determine if there are any adverse outcomes associated with immediate weight bearing as compared to non-weight bearing following first MTP joint fusion. The primary outcome measures will look at patient reported outcomes of pain and function. The secondary outcome measures will be the difference in the incidence of non-union, as well as adverse events/complications (malunion, wound complications, hardware complications, infection, stress fracture).

Conditions
