Arthritis of the Big Toe

What is Arthritis of the Big Toe?

Arthritis in the big toe (Hallux Limitus) is a degenerative joint disease that will cause the big toe to become painful and stiff with a lump appearing on top of the joint.

Damage to the joint or repeated minor trauma will lead to arthritis, or sometimes it can be associated with a bunion deformity.

Arthritis in the big toe can affect how you walk due to the pain and joint stiffness, which can cause problems in other areas.

Advice is general in nature and will vary between individuals. An appointment is required for a comprehensive assessment diagnosis and treatment plan at which time we will provide tailored information on surgery, expected outcomes and recovery.
