About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the treatment of Hallux Valgus using the conventional method (metal screw) with the new method (human allogeneic cortical bone screw (Shark Screw®) in adult patients with confirmed Hallux Valgus.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can the new method obtain comparable results as the conventional method in regard to union rate and time to union? Are the number of complications lower with the new method? Participants will be operated either with the metal screw or with the Shark Screw®. The assignment to the groups is randomized.
