Bunion Symptom Disorder: Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatment

Abstract

Bunion or Hallux valgus as a definition is one of the most common deformities in the forefoot, with a spread rate of 23% to 35%. The causes of this deformity might be hereditary or by wearing tight shoes. The bunion deformation passes through many stages; in the first stage patient might not feel pain but in the last stages s/he can have severe symptoms and complications if not treated probably. There are two types of bunion treatments; surgical and nonsurgical. However, studies have shown that surgical treatment is the best way to get rid of the bunion. This article includes a survey to investigate more about bunion in the UAE and the shoe model that reduces stress concentration in the bunion region.
