Filter by:Hallux rigidus and hallux valgus are chronic forefoot conditions associated with pain, inflammation and functional impairment. Topical cannabidiol (CBD) cream has been shown to decrease inflammation, swelling, and pain response in arthritis models with minimal side effects, although the intervention has never been studied in hallux valgus or hallux rigidus. The purpose of this study is to determine if topical CBD cream is an effective treatment for pain secondary to hallux rigidus and hallux valgus.
After potential subjects determine that they would like surgical treatment of their great toe arthritis, study staff will approach them about the study. If subject decides to participate, they will be asked to fill out an informed consent. After the informed consent has been signed, study staff will collect subject demographics and medical/surgical history. The subject will be randomized into one of two surgical treatment options: cheilectomy or Cartiva hemiarthroplasty. The randomization ratio will be 1:1 and to ensure this randomization ratio, each randomization block will have 4-6 patients. After the surgery, the subject will have follow up visits at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years post surgery. At these follow up visits, subjects will have a physical exam conducted, have their medical imaging reviewed, and fill out a data collection form which will include questionnaires and adverse event forms (when applicable). All of the above will apply to the 2 week visit, except for the administration of questionnaires/surveys. Additionally, subjects will have incision check, suture removal, and a physical completed during this visit.All study procedures for this study are considered standard of care. Patients would have these completed regardless of participation in the study.
