Hallock (bunion)

Usually bunions are accompanied by a rotation of the toe, as well as a deformity with hammertoe of the second toe, while calluses often coexist on the bunion itself or on the other toes of the foot.

The causes are varied and are due to:

• inappropriate footwear, e.g. narrow toe, high heel
• heredity.

The recommended treatment, depending on the extent of the problem and the pain felt by the patient, includes:

• use of a special splint, in cases where the foot deformity is not severe
• surgery.

Surgery is recommended mainly for functional reasons and not for the aesthetic restoration of the shape of the foot.

The Each invasive technique applied essentially includes the removal of the exostosis (bunion) and, depending on the extent of the problem, osteotomy of the anterior metatarsal.

The surgical rehabilitation of the patient depends on the severity of the problem.

In very serious cases, rehabilitation can take up to 2 months, in order for the swelling to subside and the mobility of the feet to be restored.
