Re: hallux rigidus

Hello
I am wondering what you would recommend for me. I have a biocompatible, non metal, hydrophylic implant in the MTP joint. (hallux rigidus as a result of stepping into a hole in 2001, and toe was bent completely back). The implant was placed into a divot in the metatarsal bone, in 2006. The toe will bend downward completely, but upward only about 20 degrees. I think that because the toe does not bend completely, pressure is put on other parts of the foot, like the outside, and the heel specifically,causing considerable pain. I would appreciate your advice.
Thanks.
