A Study to Compare Early and Partial Weight-bearing After Hallux Valgus Surgery

This is a two-arm randomized controlled trial with the aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of post-operative management after a modified Lapidus arthrodesis with/without an Akin or a Weil/Hohmann surgery fusion with immediate complete weight-bearing compared with partial weight-bearing (10 - 15kg) for 6 weeks as a novel approach for rehabilitation after a foot surgery.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient who undergo modified Lapidus arthrodesis operation and associated with: * Additional surgical gestures such as e.g. interventions on the proximal phalanx of the first finger (Akin) or interventions on the 2nd and / or 3rd ray (Weil / Hohmann) \[23,24\]. * Willingness and ability to participate in the trial * Signed Informed Consent Exclusion Criteria: * Diabetes mellitus * Rheumatoid arthritis * Previous foot surgery * Classic Lapidus surgery * Inability to follow the procedures of the study, e.g. due to language problems, psychological disorders, dementia, general physical problem of the participant, etc. * Inability or contraindications to undergo the investigated intervention * Pregnant women
