Most often found on the inner foot near the big toe but sometimes located on the fifth toe, bunions are a painful yet common condition caused by inflammation of the bursa. Bursa resides in the connective tissues of the bodies and is essentially a small fluid filled sac. The inflammation and thickening of these sacs creates a problematic bone formation that forces the toe out of alignment and causes great discomfort.
Sometimes known as "pump bump" because of its prevalence among women who wear pump-style shoes, Haglund's deformity can occur in one or both of the feet. It is caused by a combination of genetic and external factors and can lead to discomfort and even pain in the back of the heel. If you are suffering from Haglund's deformity you will most likely have noticed a bony enlargement at the back of the heel.

A great experience getting my broken 5th metetorsal repaired and a joint replacement , also relieving the pain on my plantar fesciitis and removing a heel spur. I would highly recommend Dr. Yount to anyone with foot issues. Also gives you the time off work you need to completely heal. A great surgeon. Very pleased with his work.
