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.
Bunion removal is a surgical procedure that corrects a deformed area of the foot near the big toe. Bunion removal is sometimes called a bunionectomy, bunion surgery, or hallux valgus correction. Hallux valgus is a Latin phrase that means âfoot deformity.â A bunion removal is necessary if nonsurgical treatment methods donât relieve your pain.
