A bunion (hallux valgus) is an enlargement of the bone or tissue around a joint at the base of the big toe or at the base of the little toe (in which case it is called a bunionette or tailor's bunion). Bunions often occur when the joint is stressed over a prolonged period.
In less than 10% of cases, complications occur after bunion surgery. 1  These will depend on the type of surgery you have and can include: 2  stiffness in your toe joints. 3  a delay or failure of the bone to heal, or the bone healing in the wrong position. 4  pain under the ball of your foot. 5  damage to the nerves in your foot.
