Precision Treatment for Hallux Limitus

Hallux limitus is a condition characterized by limited motion of the big toe joint, often resulting from arthritis, joint damage, or structural abnormalities. Our surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to restore mobility and function to this critical joint. Through carefully planned procedures and precision instruments, we can remove bone spurs, smooth arthritic surfaces, or realign the joint to improve its range of motion and eliminate pain during walking and daily activities.


Our surgical approach is tailored to the severity of your condition and your specific functional goals. Depending on the underlying cause, we may perform joint-preserving techniques such as cheilectomy to remove restrictive bone growth, or more comprehensive procedures to address cartilage damage and restore optimal joint mechanics. Most patients experience improved mobility and reduced pain within the first few weeks, with progressive improvement continuing over two to three months as the joint heals and regains full functional capacity.


Hallux limitus can develop from osteoarthritis, previous injuries, structural deformities, or repetitive stress on the joint. Beyond surgical correction, we emphasize proper footwear, activity modification, and biomechanical support to protect your healing joint and prevent future limitation. By restoring motion and function to the big toe joint, we help you maintain an active lifestyle and walk without pain or restriction.
