Bunions, more accurately called Hallux valgus, aren’t just a “bump” on the side of the foot. They’re a progressive structural change where the first metatarsal drifts inward and the big toe shifts toward the second toe, altering alignment at the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint and changing how forces move through the foot. Biomechanically, the big toe is essential for propulsion. During walking, we need ~60–65° of big toe extension in terminal stance to allow effective push-off through the
