Complications

• Chronic foot pain
• Foot deformity
• Stiff foot
• Hallux varus (occurs with surgical over-correction, where the toe points away from the second toe)

Prognosis

The outlook depends on your age and activities, and the severity of the bunion. Teenagers may have more trouble treating a bunion than adults. Many adults do well by caring for the bunion when it first starts to develop, and wearing different shoes. Surgery reduces the pain in many, but not all, people with bunions.
