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.
Depending on the condition, size and location, there are primarily two types of bunions. The first type is known as acute bunion and the second one is called as chronic bunion or the Hallux Valgus. The acute bunion is the result of bursitis outburst.
