Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Shoe insert intervention following first metatarsal distal osteotomies with fixation.
1. Group 1: Orthotic intervention 6 weeks after osteotomy (20 participants).
Group 2: Orthotic intervention 12 weeks after osteotomy (20 participants).
Group 3: Sham orthotics at either 6 or 12 weeks after osteotomy (10 participants in each group).
2. A standard full length pre-fabricated orthotic will be used (footbionics).
3. Surgeons and the administering podiatrist will be monitoring the intervention.
4. Duration of wear will be 6 weeks and will be on a daily basis for at least 80% of daily gait.
5. There will be a diary to record and assess adherence to the orthotic intervention.

Comparator / control treatment
1. Sham orthoses: a cushioning non-biomechanically altering insole that will not add support to the foot.
2. The main comparison being made is between early vs late orthotic intervention, but will also use a control group to see if only cushioning devices work just as well in either groups (early and late).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 306895 0
1. changes in pain will be assessed by foot health status questionnaire (FHSQ). A change of 3 or more points will be significant.
Timepoint [1] 306895 0
6 months
Secondary outcome [1] 350046 0
2. Change in Range of Motion will be assessed by a hand held angle finder the researcher will place on the participants toe. This will be done before and after surgery and before and after receiving your shoe inserts. A change of more than 5 degree will be significant.
Timepoint [1] 350046 0
