Note 21 — Chapter XXVIII · SURGICAL DISEASES OF THE FASCIÆ; APONEUROSES; TENDONS AND TENDON SHEATHS; MUSCLES AND BURSÆ.
Reading edition
A bunion is in many instances due to flat-foot, causing the great toe to turn out. This condition should be remedied by the usual arch, or raising the inner border of the shoes. Four out of the five tendons attached to the great toe tend also to draw it outward. If the tripod of the foot can be restored without operation this should be done.
