Bunion or Hallux valgus is one of the most common forefoot deformities, involving the first metatarsal (big toe)
.
Approximately 1 in 4 adults will develop a bunion, with higher risk in adult females. Treatment options (initially) consist of nonsurgical such as shoe modifications, orthoses/bracing, padding, and analgesics. Surgical treatment is only indicated after conservative treatment fails to relieve the #toepain symptoms

Bunion Surgery Considerations
If conservative measures fail and you still have pain that interferes w/ daily activities, you may need surgery to restore the toe to its normal position. Bunion surgery is typically discouraged merely for cosmetic purposes - never rush into it. Bunion surgery is a very successful option but not all patient get rid of all their symptoms. Minimally-invasive surgical options have improved recovery times but complete recovery can take up to a year, depending on the procedure/specific deformity/complications. As with any surgery, you'll want to make sure the surgeon is experienced in performing the particular operation you've decided to undergo
