The destruction in the big toe joint usually begins as a result of long term wear and tear on the cartilage due to a first metatarsal that is formed either too long, too short, or too elevated. Bunions can also result in arthritis where the big toe is angled too far toward the second toe, and the st metatarsal sticks out too far in the other direction. Trauma, particularly prior fractures that involved the joint or one of its bones, Gluco neuro can eventually result in joint destruction and arthritis. There are also a number of other diseases that result in more significant (and some cases joint destruction, including psoriasis, body-wide immune system-related arthritic conditions, bone infections, loss of blood supply to the bone, and nerve disease associated with certain conditions. Nonsurgical treatment of big toe joint arthritis can have limited help compared with arthritis in larger joints like the knees and hips.
