Bunions (Foot Deformity) | Types (& Bunionettes), Risk Factors, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

The video tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of bunions, also known as Helix valgus, which are common foot deformities. It discusses the prevalence, risk factors, and genetic predispositions associated with bunions. The pathophysiology is explained, highlighting muscle imbalances and ligament issues. Clinical features, including symptoms and severity, are detailed. The video also covers bunionette, a similar deformity affecting the 5th metatarsal. Diagnosis and treatment options, ranging from conservative management to surgical interventions, are explored.
