TLDR
Although the acute episode usually subsides, with or without treatment, the joint fails to recover its full range of movement; in late adolescence or early adult life degenerative changes make their appearance.Abstract:
or adolescence. These young patients present with a painful swollen joint, the range of movement of which is limited by muscle spasm, particularly when dorsiflexion is attempted. At this stage there is no fixed deformity and under anesthesia the muscles relax and a full range of movement is demonstrable. The sequence of events which commonly ensues is well known: although the acute episode usually subsides, with or without treatment, the joint fails to recover its full range of movement; in late adolescence or early adult life degenerative changes make their Meeting December 71965read more

TL;DR: It is concluded that cheilectomy is a better method of treatment for hallux rigidus than arthrodesis, resection arthroplasty, or arthroPLasty with the use of a flexible implant.

Hallux rigidus and osteoarthrosis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
TL;DR: Hallux rigidus is characterized by restriction of motion at the first metatarsophalangeal joint, and is a common disorder that has been reported to affect one in forty-five individuals who are more than fifty years of age.

TL;DR: Generally, a cyclic deterioration of the articulation and the reduction of motion occur, and ultimately, ankylosis with virtual absence of joint movement results.

Role of Metatarsus Primus Elevatus in the Pathogenesis of Hallux Rigidus
TL;DR: On the basis of the finding that first ray elevation is normal, it seems unlikely that a plantarflexion osteotomy would have a role in the treatment of hallux rigidus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical treatment of the hallux rigidus.
TL;DR: For active patients who have severe hallux rigidus, arthrodesis and biologic interposition arthroplasties have shown good results and KellerArthroplasty is reserved for low demand patients; prosthetic replacements are not recommended at this time.

TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that even gross comminution with disruption of the articular cartilage of the second metatarsal head is compatible with a radiograph of almost normal appearance.
