        There is misinformation and confusion about bunion deformities.  This article will explain how bunions develop, what can be done and most importantly what should not be done.  Dr. Young is a board certified foot surgeon with over twenty five years of experience.  She is familiar with the history of bunion treatments and surgery and she is trained in state of the art modern procedures.  This article is her opinion based on that experience. Table of contents:

WHAT IS A BUNION?     

WHY APPEARANCE DOES NOT ALWAYS COINCIDE WITH PAIN 

ABOUT TREATMENTS

SHOULD A BUNION BE SURGICALLY REPAIRED AND, IF SO, WHEN?

IF MY BUNION DOESN''T HURT, WHY TREAT IT?

WHAT ABOUT WIDER SHOES?

WILL MY BUNION COME BACK?
