Bunions are caused by changes to the joint position of the great or little toe. When the great toe is involved, this issue is referred to as Hallux Abductus Valgus (HAV).
If the smallest toe is affected, this structural change is termed Tailor’s Bunion or Bunionette. In either case, the foot becomes wider and splays which produces walking instability. Both forms can be painful due to the continuous pressure resulting from movement in shoes. The metatarsal joints may become red, hot, and swollen.
Bunions occur because of arthritis, injury, poorly fitting shoes, and/or genetic and inflammatory diseases. A treatment plan considers the cause of the bunion(s) and the amount of pain that results during walking. The treatment may be conservative or surgical.
