A Tailor's bunion, also known as a "bunionette," is a bony deformity that affects the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint, which is the joint at the base of the little toe. It is called a "Tailor's bunion" because it was commonly seen in tailors who sat cross-legged for long periods of time, with the outside edge of their foot rubbing against the ground, leading to the development of the bump.

This condition is characterized by a prominent bony enlargement on the outside of the foot, near the little toe joint. The bump can become red, swollen, and painful, especially when wearing shoes that put pressure on it. Tailor's bunions can also lead to the development of arthritis in the affected joint over time.

Treatment for a Tailor's bunion may include wearing wider shoes with a roomy toe box, using orthotic devices to redistribute pressure away from the bump, and taking anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the deformity and relieve symptoms.

Hallux Valgus is a medical condition that affects the foot, specifically the big toe joint. It is characterized by the deviation of the big toe (hallux) towards the second toe, resulting in a prominent bump on the inner side of the foot at the base of the big toe. This bump is actually the metatarsal head of the first bone in the foot that becomes exposed due to the angulation.

The deformity can lead to pain, stiffness, and difficulty wearing shoes. In severe cases, it can also cause secondary arthritis in the joint. Hallux Valgus is more common in women than men and can be caused by genetic factors, foot shape, or ill-fitting shoes that put pressure on the big toe joint.
