BUNIONS ON THE FEET

The hallux abducto-valgus (HAV, Bunions on the Feet) is a bony deviation that appears on the side of the feet. This is a painful condition because of the pressure of the shoes in the big toe. This deformation is gradual and imposes itself over time. If left unseuming, complications such as osteoarthritis, hammer toes, ingrown nails and calluses can occur. When the condition is very advanced, surgery may be an option to relieve pain and correct bone deviation.
