Oprah's bunions

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.

Plantar fasciitis in the NBA

The Chicago Bulls player P.J. Brown was recently sidelined with a right foot plantar fascia strain. The repetitive nature of activities such as basketball —running, jumping, and other explosive movements that cause increased foot demands—are especially hard on the Plantar Fascia ligament and can cause an acute plantar fasciitis. If the activity causing the pain is not modified, the condition will likely worsen.
