A bunion (hallux valgus deformity) is a bony bump on the outside and top of the great toe, where it connects to the foot. Half of those who have the problem will have bunions on both feet. Only a small number of people develop a bunion in childhood, and there is some evidence that, in these cases, heredity may play a role. Women develop bunions ten times more often than men, and they are usually in their 40s or 50s when the deformity becomes a problem. learn more+
