The main effects of a bunion are pain and discomfort in the foot and a cosmetic deformity of the foot that interferes with walking and daily life. A bunion is an excessive lateral deviation and displacement of the first metatarsophalangeal joint of the foot, sometimes involving the second and third toes. There is full or subluxation of the metatarsophalangeal joint of the bunion, and the medial joint capsule forms a bony lump. Bursae may form on the metatarsal head prominence, producing bursitis as well as osteoarthritis may develop in the metatarsophalangeal joints. Some may also have calluses and corns on the foot. These lesions can lead to painful discomfort and deformity of the foot, which can lead to walking pain and seriously affect daily life. Bunions are mainly associated with heredity and wearing inappropriate shoes. Most of them can be improved with timely and standardized treatment. However, after recovering from orthopedic shoes and other treatments, frequent wearing of pointy shoes and high heels can lead to recurrence. If you have any of the above symptoms, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in a timely manner, complete the relevant examinations, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, so as to avoid delaying your condition.
