Bunions are a common deformity of feet. People get bunions for many reasons but genetics is the most common. Symptoms vary from pain on the joint to pain at the bony prominence. The bunion deformities can occur on the inside of the foot (regular bunion) and/or outside of the foot (Tailors bunion)
Oprah Winfrey has both, a regular bunion and a Tailors bunion, in this case this deformity is call a Splay foot.
Conservative treatments include padding and wider shoes. Surgical treatments are more curative of the deformity. Bunion surgery or bunionectomy is one of the most common procedure done by podiatrist.
