Hallux Limitus

Podiatry Arena members do not see these ads

Hi there,

I wondered if anyone could help me.

I am an undergraduate podiatrist (UK) and I am currently researching for my dissertation into the prevalence of hallux limitus / rigidus.

I am finding it difficult to locate any papers on the prevalence of the condition.

If any one knows of any papers or research which might be of help I would be very grateful.

Kind Regards,

Patrick

Patrick,

I haven't found any decent prevalence data on HL/HR per se, but a recent paper reported a 20% prevalence of Kellgren and Lawrence grade 2+ osteoarthritis in the 1st MPJ in 3436 people aged over 40 (link...).

Cheers,

Hylton
