Description: “Hallux rigidus” is a term accredited to Cotterill in 1887 and refers to degenerative disease of the first metatarsophalangeal joint with stiffness and deformity. It is the second commonest problem of the 1 st MTP joint (hallux valgus is first). Other terms in the literature include “hallux limitus” (used by podiatrists to refer to limited movement in the 1st MTPJ), “hallux flexus” (flexion deformity with reduced dorsiflexion) and “dorsal bunion”.
