Summary

Hallux rigidus, a common osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, is diagnosed using pain, physical exams, and X-rays. This essay details radiologic grading for surgical planning and shows postoperative results.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Hallux rigidus is a prevalent form of osteoarthritis affecting the first metatarsophalangeal joint.
  • It leads to significant reduction in joint motion and associated pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the various grades of radiologic changes associated with hallux rigidus.
  • To demonstrate the typical postoperative radiologic appearance following surgical intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Review of radiologic findings in hallux rigidus.
  • Classification of radiographic changes into distinct grades.
  • Presentation of preoperative and postoperative imaging examples.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of characteristic radiologic features for each grade of hallux rigidus.
  • Visual examples of how these features change after surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Radiographic grading is crucial for preoperative surgical evaluation in hallux rigidus.
  • Understanding postoperative imaging aids in assessing surgical outcomes.
