In the MTP joint, as in any joint, the ends of the bones are
covered by a smooth articular cartilage. If wear-and-tear or injury
damage the articular cartilage, the raw bone ends can rub together.
A bone spur, or overgrowth, may develop on the top of the bone.
This overgrowth can prevent the toe from bending as much as it
needs to when you walk. The result is a stiff big toe, or hallux
rigidus. Hallux rigidus usually develops in adults between the ages
of 30 and 60 years. No one knows why it appears in some people and
not others. It may result from an injury to the toe that damages
the articular cartilage or from differences in foot anatomy that
increase stress on the joint.
