Hallux Rigidus & Limitus

What is it?

Hallux Rigidus & Limitus is a foot condition characterized by joint deformity, pain, or dysfunction. At Pied Confort, we provide a comprehensive approach, from assessment to surgical management when needed. All surgical interventions are performed by our team of orthopedic surgeons — not podiatrists.

2. Common Causes

Common causes include hereditary factors, foot anatomy variations, ill-fitting shoes, biomechanical imbalances, or trauma. Age and joint conditions such as arthritis may also play a role.

3. Symptoms

Symptoms may include localized pain, swelling, stiffness, or visible deformity. Some conditions may cause corns, calluses, or numbness. Pain may worsen when walking or wearing tight shoes.

4. How is it diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves a thorough clinical exam, palpation of the affected area, range-of-motion tests, and gait assessment. Weight-bearing X-rays or additional imaging (ultrasound, MRI) may be used to confirm severity.

5. What does the intervention involve?

Treatment usually starts with conservative measures such as footwear changes, custom orthotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy exercises. If symptoms persist, surgery may be recommended to realign bones, release soft tissue, or fuse the joint to relieve pain.
