Background summary
Minor qualitative studies have focussed on postoperative treatment after a
hallux valgus correction. Conflicting results have been reported regarding
postoperative foot function, after correction of hallux valgus.
Objective of the study:
Evaluation of the effect of postoperative physiotherapy, after Chevron
osteotomy, on foot function.
Study objective
Evaluation of the effect of postoperative physiotherapy, after Chevron
osteotomy, on foot function.
Study design
Randomized controlled trial in a single centre, with one year follow-up. Two
groups: 1. with postoperative physiotherapy 2. without postoperative
physiotherapy. Approximately 30 patients per group.
Intervention
postoperative physiotherapy, consistent with a specific treatment protocol.
Study burden and risks
no risks, as result of inclusion in this study. Patients randomized to the
physiotherapy group will undergo several sessions of physiotherapy. Both groups
will be asked to fill out several questionnaires, during their visits to the
outpatient clinic. This will lead to extra time. All other aspects pre and
postoperatively are normal activities and efforts, as result of normal patient
care, apart from the study.
