Hallux Rigidus
June 28th, 2010 by admin
The big toe joint is one of those many important joints that people will always be bumping and carrying out damage to, so osteoarthritis in that joint is actually prevalent. It is easy to drop anything on the great toe and injury the joint. A different title for the great toe is the hallux, so when the osteo-arthritis has truly occured and the joint does not bend, it is named hallux rigidus. The big toe joint is such an important joint for moving the body over the base, that if the actual joint doesn’t bend, it’s got certain consequences for the way we walk and run. The shoes ought to be modified to help this.
