Hallux means ‘big toe’. Joint wear – i.e. arthrosis – in the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe is referred to as hallux rigidus, or ‘stiff big toe’. Hallux rigidus is often painful, since the cartilage in the joint is being ground down with every movement. Over the long term the joint may stiffen. Find out how to recognise hallux rigidus and learn what you can do to relieve the pain and prevent secondary afflictions.
