A bunion (hallux valgus) is a first or second toe deformity that results in the big toe pointing towards the outside of the foot. They are caused by several factors, including inflammatory rheumatism or other foot diseases (flat feet, hollow feet); nevertheless, hereditary factors seem to be the main cause. 
Women are more likely than men to develop bunions. High heels (over 4 cm) or narrow shoes in the rear foot area are aggravating factors.

Orthopedic surgery of this type is not recommended for aesthetic purposes. If bunions are not painful and do not interfere with shoes, it is better not to have surgery.
