Bunions are caused by mechanical instability and can worsen over time, with treatment necessary only if they are painful. Non-surgical options include icing, wider shoes, pads, and orthotics, while surgical options involve various bunionectomies. Diagnosis and treatment typically wait until skeletal maturity.
