Hallux Valgus: Symptoms Subluxation of the first MPJ with deviation of the great toe
towards the second toe.
Enlarged medial first metatarsal head.
Pain at medial 1st MPJ due to pressure from shoe and arthritic changes in the joint.
Hallux Valgus: Causes -Heredity
-Anatomical predisposition
-Shoes with too narrow of a toe box
*Increased risk for middle-aged females
Hallux Valgus: Orthotic Goals Relieve external pressure from improperly fitting shoes
Assist in aligning joint properly or decreasing pressure at MPJ
Hallux Valgus (Treatment) Appropriate shoes
Custom shoes
Ball and ring stretcher Bubble/balloon patch
Correction of overpronation with custom FOs or heel modifications (i.e. Thomas heel)
,Hallux Limitus: Symptoms Limitation of movement at the 1st MPJ (average extension is 60°)
Pain with 1st MPJ movement and enlargement of joint
Hallux Limitus: Causes Trauma
DJD
Structural/alignment abnormalities
Complications from surgery
*predominant in males from ages 31- 60
Hallux Limitus: Orthotic Goals Limit motion at 1st MPJ and offload area to allow for
normalized gait with decreased 1st MPJ pressure
Hallux Limitus: Treatment Carbon fiber foot plate Morton's extension
Rocker soles
Sesamoiditis: Symptoms Pain in one or both of the sesamoid bones at plantar 1st MPJ
Sesmoiditis: Causes Trauma
Sudden increase in activity
Pes cavus
Abnormal sesamoid shape
Sesmoiditis: Orthotic Goals Limit 1st MPJ motion
, Relieve pressure at sesamoids
Sesmoiditis: Treatment Metatarsal bar/Dancer's pad
Steel shank or carbon footplate
Reverse Morton's extension
Rocker sole
Shock absorbing material
Metatarsal Stress Fracture: Symptoms -Increasing pain in shaft of metatarsal
-point tenderness
-often 2 or 5th metatarsal
definitive imaging often reveals fracture 2-3 weeks post healing
Metatarsal Stress Fracture: Causes Increase in activity
being an athlete
metabolic bone diseases
military service
osteoporosis
Metatarsal Stress Fracture: Orthotic Goals Immobilize fractured area until full healing
achieved
Metatarsal Stress Fracture: Treament Walking boot
carbon footplate
