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.
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.
The First Metatarsophalangeal joint is located at the base of the big toe. This joint helps with toe-off when walking. This is often the site of a bunion or arthritic changes within the joint.
The metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP) is located in the forefoot where the metatarsal and phalanx bones meet. Synovitis is a swelling of the joint lining. MTP synovitis is a common disorder caused by excessive stress on that joint, usually exacerbated by activity.
Hallux refers to the big toe, while rigidus indicates that the toe is rigid and cannot move.
Because gout is considered an inflammatory type of arthritis, it usually causes a warm, red, and swollen area around the joint of the big toe to appear, whereas hallux limitus is more of a persistent pain with limitation of motion. As always, you should definitely seek medical care at the onset of any new symptoms.
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.
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.
In Stage IV hallux limitus/rigidus, there is severely advanced degenerative joint disease with complete loss of articular cartilage on both sides of the joint as well as a loss of joint space. The joint is flattened and wide in all planes with severe limitation of motion in all planes and directions.
Hallux rigidus, sometimes called turf toe or stiff big toe, is when you have big toe pain. The pain can make it hard to walk or even stand. Often, nonsurgical treatments, such as properly fitting shoes, can help.
