Abstract

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.

Resumen

El hallux rígidus es una patología degenerativa y progresiva de la articulación metatarsofalángica del hallux, cuyo principal síntoma es el dolor y la pérdida de la movilidad articular. Existen distintos mecanismos etiológicos que se han involucrado en su desarrollo y la anamnesis clínica y los exámenes radiológicos son indispensables para llegar a su preciso diagnóstico y poder concretar el correcto estadio evolutivo, con la finalidad de efectuar un adecuado tratamiento en cada caso.

El tratamiento quirúrgico está indicado en la mayoría de casos y es indispensable tener un amplio conocimiento de las diversas técnicas quirúrgicas para realizar el tratamiento correcto a cada paciente.
