A bunionette , or tailor's bunion, is one that develops at the base of the little toe. When the long bone that connects to the toe (metatarsal ) bends away from the foot, the little toe bends inward and the joint swells or enlarges. Other factors that can lead to a bunion include: Loose ligaments in the foot.
Summary: Bunions. A bunion (a.k.a Hallux Valgus) is a common foot condition associated with a prominent bump on the inside of the forefoot (see Figure 1). The word bunion originates from the Latin root for the word turnip. Bunions can lead to discomfort over the prominence, especially if patients wear tight fitting shoes.
