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.
Tailor's Bunion. A Tailors bunion (also called a bunionette) is a bony prominence that typically occurs on the outside side of the forefoot at the base of the fifth toe. The bunion is not a growth of bone or a calcium deposit. The bunion is actually the rounded end of the fifth metatarsal bone (the bone on the outside of the forefoot leading to the 5th toe) that is slowly splaying away from the outer side of the foot.
