I found myself questioning a few ideas after Craig Payne's recent biomechanical lectures.

I would be interested to hear some debate/opinions regarding a correlation between the shape of the 1st MTPJ complex and the percieved windlass mechanism. The recent lecture and previous boot camps havent eluded to this possible relationship.
It is of my opinion that the shape of the joint complex will have a huge bearing on the relative function or dysfunction of the windlass mechanism. Squarer less congruent met heads would theoretically result in a greater force required to initiate the windlass and delayed timing of the mechanism; Conversely a rounder more congruent MTPJ will result in a more efficent functioning windlass mechanism.
There is literature that suggests squarer met heads result in hallux limitus/rigidus while rounder met heads are predisposed to HAV deformities. Does this relevant anatomy play a larger role that what has been eluded to in recent seminars??
Any thoughts
