Bunions, also known as Hallus Abducto Valgus, are a prevalent foot issue that impacts the joint situated at the bottom of the big toe, also known as the first metatarsophalangeal joint. The term "bunion" originates from Latin and denotes an enlargement, while "hallux abducto valgus (HAV)" describes the inward bending of the big toe, as shown in the image below.
