Bunion Surgery

Bunion Surgery at Ashtead Hospital

What is a bunion? 

A bunion, or hallux valgus, is a common foot condition. It is a painful bony lump that develops on the side of your big toe joint. This bony bump can grow over time as your big toe gradually leans towards your second toe, leading to pain and discomfort.
The exact cause of bunions is not fully understood, but several factors may contribute to their development, including:

  • Poorly fitting footwear 

  • Inflammatory health conditions, like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus 

  • Abnormal walking patterns

  • Genetics

  • Spending long hours on your feet
