• #3 Diagnosing Bunions | NYU Langone Health

  https://nyulangone.org/conditions/bunions/diagnosis

  Doctors at NYU Langone diagnose bunions by examining your foot. This condition causes the big toe to turn toward the second toe. As a result of this change in bone structure, a hard, bony bump forms at the base of the big toe where a joint connects the toe to the foot. […] Early diagnosis by our orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists can ensure that treatment begins before this can occur. […] A physical examination of the foot is often all that’s needed for doctors to confirm a diagnosis. In addition to examining the big toe for changes in the bone structure, doctors gently move the toe to determine if a bunion restricts the range of motion or causes pain, numbness, or tingling in the toe or foot. […] If a bunion causes significant pain or severely changes the shape of the big toe, doctors may recommend X-ray imaging. An X-ray of the foot reveals how far the big toe joint has moved away from the other toes and whether any other bones in the foot or toes have been affected. […] Your doctor may recommend an MRI scan if he or she suspects that changes in the bone structure of the foot may have led to other types of damage.
