Bunion - A thickened pad of tissue or a fluid-filled bursa overlying a deformed big-toe joint. The underlying cause is an abnormal outward projection of the big toe called a hallux valgus.
Small bunions are remedied by wearing wellfitting shoes and a special toe pad to straighten the big toe. Large bunions may require surgery to realign the joint and relieve the pressure.
