Popis: Hallux rigidus is a degenerative and progressive disease of the metatarsal phalangeal joint of the hallux, with its main symptoms being pain and loss of joint movement. Different aetiological mechanisms are involved in its development, and clinical anamnesis and radiological examinations are essential for an accurate diagnosis and to be able to establish the correct stage of progression, with the aim of giving suitable treatment in each case. Surgical treatment is indicated in most cases and is necessary to know all the surgical techniques to make the right treatment for each patient.
