If you have a condition called "hallux rigidus" or "hallux limitus," the name tells you what's wrong.
"Hallux" means big toe.
"Rigidus" means the big toe joint doesn't move at all.
"Limitus" just means the big toe joint movement is limited and stiff.
There are three problems with hallux rigidus, which are: 1) damage to the cartilage, 2) bone spurs around the joint and 3) restriction of the soft tissues such that the toe doesn't move up and down the way it should.
Those three reasons that cause the condition are the same reasons that can fail if you have a cheilectomy surgery.
Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast we're talking about three reasons for cheilectomy failure after hallux rigidus surgery.
