title: [Hallux rigidus arthrosis and gout].
abstract: In general, hallux rigidus arthrosis is said to occur in patients suffering from gout more frequently than average, and it should be valued as a symptom of chronic gout. But as a reevaluation of this problem shows, no criteria can be stated as to causal relationship between hyperuricemia (or gout) and hallux rigidus arthrosis. Obesity has to be considered a connecting link between both of them, and it is accelerating their genesis. Hallux rigidus arthrosis represents, like the arthrosis of Heberden the most frequent possibility for confusing it with gout.
