Hallux Rigidus
Hallux rigidus, often referred to as “stiff big toe,” is a painful arthritic condition of the hallux metatarsal-phalangeal (MTP) joint (the big toe joint). The MTP joint of the big toe is the most common site in the foot affected by arthritis. Stiffness in the big toe can make walking difficult and painful. The symptoms of hallux rigidus tend to gradually worsen with activities like walking, running, and/or squatting.
