Bunion
Bunion is a circumscribed swelling consisting of a callus covering a fibromatous growth. A bunion is nature's protection against constant pressure and friction.
Symptoms of Bunion
Bunions commonly appear over the metatarsophalangeal joints-the first and fifth, and in deformed feet that have been confined to ill-fitting shoes. They look ugly, but are generally, painless.
Treatment of Bunion
The treatment consists in excising the bunion, and in correcting the foot deformity by orthopedic methods.
