Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients undergoing a dorsal cheilectomy procedure with implementation of amniotic membrane tissue results in improved clinical and functional outcomes compared to a standard dorsal cheilectomy procedure.
Specific Aim 1:
To compare American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores between patients undergoing dorsal cheilectomy to patients undergoing dorsal cheilectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane tissue.
Hypothesis 1: Clinical and functional outcomes, as measured by the AOFAS , in the patients undergoing dorsal cheilectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane tissue will be superior to those without.
Specific Aim 2:
To compare range of motion between patients undergoing dorsal cheilectomy to patients undergoing dorsal cheilectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane tissue.
Hypothesis 2: Patient to undergo dorsal cheilectomy and implantation of amniotic membrane tissue will demonstrate less postoperative stiffness as measured from the pre-and postoperative radiographs.
Specific Aim 3:
To compare Foot Function Index (FFI) scores between patients undergoing dorsal cheilectomy to patients undergoing dorsal cheilectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane tissue.
Hypothesis 3: Clinical and functional outcomes, as measured by the FFI, the patients undergoing dorsal cheilectomy with implantation of amniotic membrane tissue will be superior to those without.
