About this trial

Prospective observational study to evaluate the clinical and radiological predictors for outcome in hallux valgus (HV) corrective surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All adult patients accepted for hallux valgus surgery (mild, moderate, severe) at the ØHT will be asked to participate in the study

Disqualifiers

Previous hallux valgus surgery in the same foot

Lack of compliance

Not available for follow-up

Language difficulties (not able to communicate in English or Norwegian)

Trial population

All adult patients accepted for hallux valgus surgery at the ØHT

Trial design

Design model

Case-control

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Hallux Valgus - chevron osteotomy, lapidus procedure

    Procedure/Surgery

    The purpose is to compare the preoperative clinical features (previous medical history, age, BMI, occupational status etc), PROMs (Manchester-Oxford Foot and ankle questionnaire, SF-36, VAS activity scale) and radiological parameters (both two and three dimensional) with the postoperative PROMs (+ likert scale) and the postoperative radiological parameters.

Treatment groups

250 Participants

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Comparing the pre and postoperative Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) index score in participants operated for hallux valgus deformity

The MOXFQ (Dawson et al., 2006) was developed to measure perceived foot-specific functioning and health-related quality of life. The MOXFQ is supported as the current most valid, reliable and responsive foot \& ankle instrument (Jia, Huang\&Gagnier, 2017). It is available in Norwegian, but has not been validated in its translated form. The score compromises a total of 16 items. They are distributed within 3 dimensions; foot pain (5 items), walking/standing (7 items) and social interaction (4 items) where all items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale, score 0 (best) to 4 (worst). The MOXFQ index score (Morely et al., 2013) will be used as the main outcome and we define an increase of at least 15 points as a successful outcome. We plan to run multiple regression analysis with baseline parameters as well as radiological and Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) data as predictors. To account for loss to follow-up we will include 250 patients in this study.

Time frame
Participant enrollment is expected to be completed within 3-4 years time, they will be evaluated preoperatively, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 52 weeks postoperatively

Secondary outcomes

1

Comparing the traditional and newer rotational radiological parameters with PROMs pre and postoperatively

Investing the correlation between the traditional and newer rotational parameters on weighted anterior-posterior and axial radiograph of the forefoot (lateral head shape of first metatarsal, hardy and Clapham tibial sesamoid position, joint congruity, distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), hallux valgus angle (HVA), metatarsal rotational angle, sesamoid rotational angle) and the PROMs (MOxFQ, SF-36, visual analogue scale (VAS) activity, likert scale) pre and postoperatively

Time frame
Participant enrollment is expected to be completed within 3-4 years time, patient follow-up 6, 12 and 52 weeks postoperatively. Goal of inclusion 250 patients.
