Hallux rigidus is the second most common disorder affecting the great toe. The primary cause of hallux rigidus is thought to be a traumatic event, a culmination of microtrauma, or an alteration in kinematics leading to a loss of articular cartilage and dorsal osteophyte formation. Surgical treatments include Moberg osteotomy, also referred to as a proximal phalanx extension osteotomy. This article discusses current techniques, developments, complications, outcomes, and management of the Moberg osteotomy. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
