Introduction:~Rehabilitation plans after hallux valgus/bunion surgery is varied~From a patient's perspective, full weight bearing is paramount for quality of life and return to work/study~No high-level study showing the optimal time to resume full weight bearing available~Hypothesis:~Early weight bearing (at 2 weeks post-op) does not affect outcome after the Endoscopic Distal Soft Tissue Procedure for Hallux Valgus correction~Trial Design:~Parallel group~Random allocation~Operating Surgeon blind to randomisation~Study Setting:~General Regional Hospital~Single Centre
