Brief Summary:
The aim was to investigate with a multi-segmental foot model the kinetic and kinematic in patients with a hallux rigidus, before and after different type of surgery.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Hallux Rigidus Other: Motion Analysis

Detailed Description:
None of the patients received surgery BECAUSE of the study. We have only performed motion analysis in patients, who were already scheduled for one of the described type of surgery (prospective group) or who already previously received one the type of surgery (retrospective group).
