Hallux Rigidus Correction (Cheilectomy) in Kansas

Hallux rigidus correction - cheilectomy, is a common surgical procedure for advanced hallux rigidus. Hallux rigidus is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint of the big toe (where the bones in the toe connect to the bones in the foot), and is often caused by arthritis. During the procedure, the doctor will remove damaged tissue as well as remove or cut portions of a bony lump above the main joint of the big toe.
