This young man has hallux valgus which is causing a bunion secondary to tight calves. In this video, I talk about the biomechanics of how a bunion can occur and how we would manage it conservatively to hopefully slow the progression.
Here is a classic presentation that I see often...
Tight calves
Poor squat
Medial knee collapse
Feet pronate
Big toes pushes out
Shear of the big toe causes callus
Constant valgus pressure causes bunion
