Let's talk about hallux limitus today! Hallux limitus/rigidus means "big toe arthritis" and is actually deterioration of the cartilage surface of your big toe joint. It usually occurs on the metatarsal side, but can involve both feet as well. In this intra-operative photograph, you can see that the top half of the cartilage surface has been worn away. With this much damage, I often recommend a toe joint replacement. Patients are able to walk on it right away, and are back to normal (running, biking, etc) in about 2-3 months. If caught early enough, conservative treatment works great! If you have big toe arthritis, call 214-366-4600 to make an appointment today!

The human foot and ankle is one of the most intricate and complex anatomical structures in your body, marrying the precision of a Swiss watch with the structural strength of a cantilever bridge. Your foot is a complex apparatus of 26 bones (one-quarter of all the bones in the human body), 33 joints and more than 100 ligaments and tendons, all linked and served by a vast network of nerves, muscles, blood vessels, soft tissue and skin. All of these parts work in unison to provide the support, strength, flexibility and resiliency needed for actions most of us take for granted, such as balance, walking, running and jumping.
