Bunion

A bunion is a deformity of the foot consisting of both bone and soft tissue. A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of your big toe where it connects with a foot bone called the first metatarsal. This causes your big toe to point toward your second toe. Bunions can be a very painful condition. Bunion removal at Iowa City ASC is an outpatient surgical procedure that corrects the deformed area near the big toe.
