A bunion (hallux valgus) is a sometimes painful structural deformity of the bones and the joint between the foot and big toe.

The term "bunion" originally referred to an inflamed and painful bursal sac on the side of the great toe joint. A bunion is an enlargement of bone or tissue around the joint at the base of the big toe (metatarsophalangeal joint). If you have a bunion, you will notice a bump on your big toe joint. The big toe may turn in toward the second toe (displacement), and the tissues surrounding the joint may be swollen and tender. less
