Overview

Hallux rigidus is a condition restricting dorsiflexion of the hallux ("big toe"). Hallux rigidus (osteoarthrosis with restricted motion) is the second most common disabling deformity of the first metatarsophalangeal joint after hallux valgus. The disability with hallux rigidus is greater than that seen in hallux valgus because removal of shoes does not relieve the pain; dorsiflexion at the metatarsophalangeal joint is severely restricted and painful. Hallux rigidus is most commonly seen in middle-aged patients, but can develop during adolescence. Unlike hallux valgus, males appear to be slightly more affected than females.
