  • Bunion Basics
    WHAT IS A BUNION? A bunion is a “bump” on the outer edge of your big toe and forms when the bone or tissue at the big toe joint moves out of place. You may have a bunion if this area of your foot is red, swollen, or painful. BUNION BASICS WHY DO I HAVE A BUNION? Blame your genetics first, but your footwear next! Bunions tend to run in families, specifically among those who have the foot type prone to developing a bunion. If you have flat feet, low arches, arthritis, or inflammatory joint disease, you can develop a bunion. Footwear choices play a role too! Wearing shoes that are too tight or cause the toes to be squeezed together, like many stylish peep-or pointed-toe shoes, aggravates a bunion-prone foot. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT MY BUNION? If you’ve noticed the beginnings of a bunion, avoid high heels over two inches with tight toe-boxes. You can also use a bunion pad inside of your shoes to provide some protection. WHO CAN HELP WITH MY BUNION? Today’s podiatrist is the bunion expert and can help you Beat Bunion Blues! There are several treatment options available, including the following: – Padding and taping to minimize pain and keep the foot in a normal position, reducing stress and pain. – Anti-inflammatory medications and cortisone injections can be prescribed to ease acute pain and inflammation. – Physical therapy can relieve bunion pain, and ultrasound therapy is a technique for treating bunions and their associated soft tissue involvement. – Orthotics or shoe inserts may be useful in controlling foot function to prevent worsening of a bunion.

    Bunion Surgery - OrthoInfo - AAOS 6/10/12 3:20 PM Copyright 2001 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Bunion Surgery Most bunions can be treated without surgery. But when nonsurgical treatments are not enough, surgery can relieve your pain, correct any related foot deformity, and help you resume your normal activities. An orthopaedic surgeon can help you decide if surgery is the best option for you. Whether you've just begun exploring treatment for bunions or have already decided with your orthopaedic surgeon to have surgery, this booklet will help you understand more about this valuable procedure. What Is A Bunion? A bunion is one problem that can develop due to hallux valgus, a foot deformity. The term "hallux valgus" is Latin and means a turning outward (valgus) of the big toe (hallux). The bone which joins the big toe, the first metatarsal, becomes prominent on the inner border of the foot. This bump is the bunion and is made up of bone and soft tissue. What Causes Bunions? By far the most common cause of bunions is the prolonged wearing of poorly fitting shoes, usually shoes with a narrow, pointed toe box that squeezes the toes into an unnatural position. Bunions also may be caused by arthritis or polio. Heredity often plays a role in bunion formation. But these causes account for only a small percentage of bunions. A study by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society found that 88 percent of women in the U.S. wear shoes that are too small and 55 percent have bunions. Not surprisingly, bunions are nine times more common in women than men.

  • Bunion Deformity (Juvenile Hallux Valgus)
    Bunion Deformity (Juvenile Hallux Valgus) Bunions can occur in children and adults. Juvenile hallux valgus is the name for a bunion that develops during childhood. A bunion is the development of a large bump on the inside of the foot where the great toe meets the end of the foot. The great toe may look like it's growing towards the small toes. Causes No one knows for sure exactly why juvenile hallux valgus occurs. This disorder tends to run in families. Young people with flat fleet are more likely to have a bunion deformity. Tight, poorly-fitting shoes also predispose to the development of juvenile hallux valgus. Children with an underlying neurologic (brain or nerve) problem are more likely to develop this condition as well. Signs & Symptoms Juvenile hallux valgus causes a bump on the inside of the foot at the base of the great toe. Some children are very sore at the site of this bump. Individuals with bunion deformities often find tight shoes irritating. Juvenile hallux valgus sometimes causes pain with walking. Diagnosis Usually, your physician will be able to diagnose juvenile hallux valgus with a physical exam. X-rays of the foot help determine how severe the deformity is. Treatment For many types of foot deformities, physicians recommend early correction so affected children won't have difficulties with activities in the future. The treatment of bunions is different. Physicians recommend trying non-surgical methods to help the symptoms. Children and teens with bunions should wear shoes with a wide toe box and low heels so they don't put too much pressure on the bump or make the condition worse.
