Abstract
Hallux rigidus is a disabling problem especially in younger patients. Open cheilectomy or exostosectomy for treatment has been reported with satisfactory results. Analysis of a series of 15 patients who underwent arthroscopic cheilectomy for hallux rigidus has shown very satisfactory and encouraging early results without any recurrence or any need of revision surgery. This has provided rapid recovery and rehabilitation as well as maintained the pain relief with good metatarso-phalangeal joint power and motion.
