Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bunion, also known as hallux valgus, is a common foot condition where there is a bony bump at the joint at the base of the big toe. It is often accompanied by inflammation and pain, and can be caused by shoes that are too tight or narrow, genetics, or certain medical conditions. Exostosis refers to a bony protrusion or outgrowth, but it is a more general term and not specific to the big toe joint. Bursolith and gout are not terms commonly used to describe this condition.
