Bunions
A bunion, or hallux abducto valgus, is a bulge that appears on the inside of the forefoot at the base of the big toe. As the big toe deviates towards the lesser toes (outwards) and the first metatarsal bone deviates medially (inwards). It is generally a progressive condition meaning that it becomes worse over time and may eventually cause the other toes to overlap one another. In its early stages the condition is relatively painless but as the deformity worsens pain is likely to occur.
