Hallux Rigidus is a degenerative joint disease that causes limitation of movement in the big toe and stiffness of the joint over time. This condition develops as a result of cartilage wear in the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe and is usually caused by osteoarthritis. It can cause pain when walking, difficulty wearing shoes and restriction of movement in daily activities. Treatment options vary depending on the stage of the disease; shoe modifications, orthopedic supports and physical therapy are recommended in the early stages, while surgical intervention may be required in advanced cases. Surgeries usually focus on relieving movement in the joint or reducing pain by eliminating the movement of the big toe completely.
