Clinical Indications:
Mild Degenerative joint disease (DJD), arthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MPJ) joint

The Hallux Rigidus (BIG TOE ARTHRITIS, MILD) is specifically designed to encourage motion of the first ray and relieve pressure on the first MPJ. Hallux limitus, often developing into hallux rigidus, is characterized by early arthritis-related stiffness and pain in the big toe, particularly during dorsiflexion. To reduce discomfort, a custom orthotic that encourages joint movement is recommended.

This device features custom arch support to minimize pronation, thereby decreasing stress on the big toe joint. A first ray cutout is incorporated to significantly increase mobility of the first ray. For enhanced effectiveness.

Engineered to fit most standard footwear with removable insoles or sock liners, the MILD Hallux Rigidus device is fabricated using a positive 3d scan mold of the patient’s foot and can be modified as needed by the practitioner.
