title: Treatment of bunion deformity in the athlete.
abstract: Bunions occur in athletes. Often, the bunion is compensated and has a congruous joint, needing minimal treatment. If the bunion rapidly progresses, the sesamoids sublux, and the joint becomes incongruous; surgery becomes necessary. Surgery for decompensated bunions and secondary problems is discussed.
