Bunions. Each of these fluid-filled pads covers the joint of the big toe. The majority of bunions are caused by the condition hallux valgus, in which the big toe (hallux) bends inwards and the base of the joint protrudes, as here. The continued rubbing of the joint on tight shoes leads to inflammation and bunions. Bunions can be very painful and they will increase in size unless correctly-fitting shoes are worn. Shoes which force the big toe into a straight position will help relieve small bunions, but larger ones may require surgery to correct the shape of the joint

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of bunions, those fluid-filled pads that cover the joint of the big toe. The image perfectly captures the effects of hallux valgus, a condition where the big toe bends inwards and causes protrusion at the base of the joint. The photograph highlights how tight shoes can lead to inflammation and painful bunions due to constant rubbing against the joint. It serves as a reminder that wearing correctly-fitting shoes is crucial for preventing further discomfort and increasing bunion size. While some relief can be found by using shoes that force the big toe into a straight position, larger bunions may require surgical intervention to correct their shape. This emphasizes how important it is to address this medical disorder promptly. Bunions are not only visually striking but also serve as an example of how our feet can suffer from various conditions affecting our overall health. By shedding light on this common foot ailment, Science Photo Library's print encourages us to prioritize proper foot care and seek appropriate medical attention when necessary.
