Tight shoes contribute to the development of hammertoes
Tight shoes may not be the primary cause of the hammertoes but contribute to their development. The common cause of hammertoes is foot instability, which causes some muscles to pull more than others. The toes are pulled up and buckled as a result of this.
A hammertoe can develop on any toe. However, when the little toe develops into a hammertoe, it may seem different than the others. A fifth toe hammertoe bends the toenail around such that it appears on the side of the foot rather than the top. It shifts in position and puts pressure on the toe, making it unpleasant.
Surgery is usually done to correct bunion deformity
Bunion surgery aims to realign the metatarsal bone and remove the hump on the side of your foot. The foot surgery corrects the effect of the unstable mechanics that led to the formation of the bunion in the first place. Bunions are generally inherited; one of your parents or grandparents is likely to have them. You may thank them for that!
Inflammation causes the pain associated with a bunion on your foot. Inflammation might occur near the side of your foot’s bump or deeper into the joint. Bunion discomfort can be controlled by reducing inflammation.
Bunions are caused by faulty mechanics. You inherit these mechanics in general, which is why your feet may resemble those of a parent or grandfather. The susceptibility to developing a bunion is what you inherit, not the bunion itself.
A minor bunion develops into a moderate bunion, which worsens over time. Bunions on your feet are caused by poor foot mechanics, which allows the bone to spin outwards, causing a bunion. The bunion grows in size as the angle of the bone rises if left to its own devices.
