Unlike hallux rigidus, hallux valgus is the result of your bones shifting, with the resulting protrusion going outwards, and not upwards like with hallux rigidus's osteophyte. Hallux valgus, or a bunion, with a bump on the left big toe.
Overview. Hallux (big toe) limitus (stiffness) starts out as a stiff big toe. Over time, this develops into hallux rigidus (inability to bend), a condition where the big toe's ability to move is severely limited and may be "frozen" and unable to move at all.
Hallux rigidus is defined as pain due to an arthritic joint, whereas hallux limitus is defined as functional pain due to soft tissue tightness (i.e., gastrocnemius contracture) or a long and elevated first metatarsal.

Hallux refers to the big toe, while rigidus indicates that the toe is rigid and cannot move. Hallux rigidus is actually a form of degenerative arthritis.
Grade I – mild changes with maintained joint space and minimal spurring. Grade II – moderate changes with narrowing of joint space, bony proliferation on the metatarsophalangeal head and phalanx and subchondral sclerosis or cyst.
Many patients confuse hallux rigidus with a bunion (medically referred to as hallux valgus), however, they are not the same thing, just simply affect the same joint. Hallux rigidus is a progressive condition, meaning the patient's toe will decrease mobility over time, causing a lack of motion.
A common problem which affects the big toe is called hallux rigidus or stiff big toe. 'Hallux' is the Greek word for big toe and 'rigidus' indicates the joint is stiff and inflexible. Hallux rigidus is a form of osteoarthritis which occurs when the cartilage within the joint wears out.
The phalanges are the bones in the toes. The second to fifth toes each contain three phalanges. From the back of the foot to the front, doctors call them the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges. The big toe or hallux contains only two phalanges, which are proximal and distal.
Hallux rigidus is stiffness and pain in the big toe caused by arthritis of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. (The MTP joint of each toe is composed of two bones: the proximal phalanx and the metatarsal bone.)
