Filter by:Prospective, multicenter, unblinded study to evaluate outcomes of the Lapiplasty® Procedure using the Lapiplasty® Mini-Incision™ System for patients in need of hallux valgus surgery. Up to 200 subjects will be treated in this study at up to 20 clinical sites. Patients 14 years through 58 years with symptomatic hallux valgus will be eligible to participate based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria defined in the study protocol.
The goal of this research study is to determine if union rates are affected by early weight-bearing after Lapidus Arthrodesis using the Phantom™ Intramedullary Nail. The study hypothesis is that the union rate for those who undergo a Lapidus Arthrodesis procedure with the Phantom™ Intramedullary Nail and participate in an early weight-bearing protocol will be non-inferior to union rates previously published for this procedure.
Exparel is an FDA-approved local anesthetic (bupivacaine), in a long-release formulation. In this study the investigators plan to determine the ability of Exparel to control post-operative pain in common first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint procedures (bunion surgery, 1st MTP fusion, and cheilectomy).
This study is an observational "change from baseline" outcome measures design. Data is collected for the sake of evaluating treatment (fusion surgery) performed as standard medical care, but the investigator does not assign specific interventions to any participants in this study.
This will be a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial that will accept all eligible consecutive patients undergoing elective Kalish bunionectomies. Patients will be randomized into either receiving ketorolac (30 mg IV dose intra-operatively followed by 10 mg orally every 8 hours for five days) plus standard of care or placebo plus standard of care. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ketorolac plus standard of care on post-operative pain control and radiographic osseous healing. Patients will be assessed for pain via a validated pain questionnaire and for delayed unions via a radiographic scoring system shown to have both high inter- and intra-observer reliability by a blinded board certified radiologist. Additional outcomes of bunionectomy procedures will also be evaluated including adverse events and time to regular shoe gear and activities.
