One of the most common questions we get at Moore Foot and Ankle Specialists is "What is a bunion? And what causes them?"

The medical description for a bunion is "hallux valgus" or "big toe leaning towards the second toe". It is primarily a genetic deformity but can be acquired from poor foot function or excessive pronation. They are rarely caused by trauma but tearing the inside ligament of the big toe joint can cause bunions too.

Treatment is usually corrective bunion surgery but more conservative options such as custom molded orthotics and shoe modifications are also helpful.
