A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of your big toe, where it forms a union with a foot bone called the first metatarsal. Your big toe points excessively toward your second toe when you have a bunion. The bunion is a foot deformity that consists of both bone and soft tissue.

Bunions can be very painful. Wearing shoes that are too small or too narrow in the toe area is the most common cause of bunions. This can be thought of as a pressure-response effect. Women are more likely than men to develop bunions.

Bunion removal is a safe surgical procedure that corrects a deformed area of the foot near the big toe.

A bunion removal is necessary if nonsurgical treatment methods don’t relieve your pain.
