Bunion Pictures Before and After Surgery
These are deformities of the first metatarsal (large toe bone). The first metatarsal splays out and a large bony prominence is noted. There are many causes of bunions and conservative treatment includes the use of custom orthotics, wider shoes and anti-inflammatory medications. If the pain still continues, surgical correction may help alleviate the discomfort. The following are some surgical correction of such deformities.
