Bunions
Welcome to the Center for Foot Care, where we specialize in providing effective treatment for hallux valgus (bunions). Dr. Kris Titko, our experienced podiatrist, understands the impact that bunions can have on your daily life and is dedicated to helping you find relief.
A bunion is a misaligned first metatarsophalangeal joint. A “bump” may be seen on the medial or dorsal aspect of your great toe joint. Poor foot biomechanics are often the cause of bunions.
Causes of Bunions
Bunions can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor foot mechanics, genetic predisposition, ill-fitting footwear, and other contributing factors. Understanding the underlying etiology is crucial in developing an effective treatment plan.
Symptoms of Bunions
One of the most common symptoms of bunions is the presence of a visible protuberance on the medial or dorsal aspect of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. This can be accompanied by pain, discomfort, edema, inflammation, and restricted range of motion of the toe.
Surgical Treatment Options
Only surgery will correct the structural misalignment. Surgical procedures may include bunionectomy, osteotomy, or arthrodesis depending on the severity of the deformity
