Bunion

Is a deformation in the bone (metatarsal) of the big toe which arises due to a weakness in the ligaments and joints causing them to get out of natural alignment and in many occasions is due to an inherited condition also.

It's often erroneously believed that bunions are caused by the use of tight shoes. The truth is that once the bunion appears wearing shoes is difficult, since the shoes rubs the inflammation causing pain.

The best way to solve this problem is through an operation which is performed on an outpatient basis and patients can walk the same day.
