Types of Bunions

Dr. Hans J. sees SEVERAL TYPES of BUNIONS INCLUDING:

BUNION WITH SKIN IRRITATION: This occurs when the bump at the side of the joint on the big toe is painful with some visible redness caused by the toe rubbing against the shoe.

LARGE BUNION: Bunions come in different sizes, but a large bunion can make it difficult in finding shoes that are comfortable and fitting.

BUNION WITH HALLUX LIMITUS: This is a smaller sized bunion which limits the range of motion at the joint of the big toe, and this can result in a bunion developing on top of the big toe joint.

TAILOR’S BUNION (BUNIONETTE): This forms on the side of the fifth or little toe and is mostly caused by an inherited faulty mechanical structure in the foot. These types of bunions are rare compared to other bunions.
