Functional Hallux Limitus as a cause of Bunion Deformity

This video shows how a lack of motion of the big toe joint can cause a bunion deformity to develop. There is footage of how attempted dorsiflexion of the big toe when weight bearing causes the first metatarsal to become more prominent on the inside of the foot, when a bunion is present. By simply elevating the big toe prior to loading of the foot, the motion of the big toe joint is re-established. As the big toe moves into dorsiflexion, the bunion becomes noticeably less prominent. This suggests that limitation of motion of the big toe may be a likely cause of bunion deformity.
