Stiff
Big Toe |
The most common site of arthritis in the foot is at the base
of the big toe. This joint is called the metatarsophalangeal, or MTP
joint. It's important because it has to bend every time you take a
step. If the joint starts to stiffen, walking can become painful and
difficult. .http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/ |

Hallux
rigidus is a degenerative arthritic condition that affects the large
joint at the base of the great toe (metatarsophalangeal joint or MTP
joint). When the joint is mildly stiff, the condition is called hallux
limitus. When the joint becomes so arthritic that it is very stiff
(almost no motion or no motion), it is called hallux rigidus. |
