| Abstract: | Hallux rigidus is a degenerative joint condition affecting the first metatarso-phalangeal joint and is characterized by a painful and stiff joint. It is the most common form of arthritis in the foot and the pathophysiology is believed to be multi-factorial. In this review we discuss the clinical evaluation of the condition and explore both non-surgical and surgical treatment options. Our preferred treatment algorithm for different presentations of the condition is also included in the paper. |
