Hallux valgus, commonly known as a bunion, is a deformity of the joint connecting the big toe to the foot. It is characterized by the deviation of the big toe towards the other toes. In cases where conservative treatments, such as orthotics or changes in footwear, do not provide relief, surgical intervention may be considered. Hallux valgus surgery aims to correct the deformity, alleviate pain, and improve function.

A surgery is recommended only in cases when a conservative treatment fails or in case of progressing deformity. Bone deformity and pain after the surgery usually resolve in the majority of patients.

The point of surgery is to correct the bone axis, to remove the bone outgrowths and to restore a normal joint function.
