Bunions - Podiatrist in Houston, Sugarland Texas - Gregory Mangum, DPM
Podiatrist Dr. Gregory Mangum discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Bunions.
A bunion is a bone deformity caused by an enlargement of the joint at the base and side of the big toe (metatarsophalangeal joint). Formation occurs when the toe moves out of place. The enlargement and its protuberance cause friction and pressure as they rub against footwear. Over time, the movement of the big toe angles in toward the other toes, sometimes overlapping a third toe (known as Hallux Valgus). The growing enlargement then causes more irritation or inflammation. In some cases, the big toe moves toward the second toe and rotates or twists, which is known as Hallus Abducto Valgus. This can also lead to other toe deformities, such as a hammertoe.
