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.
A bunion (also referred to as hallux valgus) is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot. The big toe leans toward the second toe, rather than pointing straight ahead. This throws the bones out of alignmentâproducing the bunionâs bump. Bunions are a progressive disorder.
