Why is the bone growing on the leg at the big toe 
The main reason for the appearance of foot deformity in the form of a protruding bone is a hereditary factor. If the mother has it, then the daughter has an increased risk of developing a bone. Also, a bulging growth can appear in the following cases:
- Shoes unsuitable for the size, fullness, shape of the last. The presence of a high heel does not properly redistribute the load on the foot and the bones of the foot are deformed.
- Disruption of metabolic processes in the body, leading to the deposition of salts in the joints. As a result, gout disease occurs.
- The presence of flat feet leads to the fact that the foot sags, the load is not distributed correctly. This leads to a deflection of the thumb and the appearance of a bone.
- Excess body weight accompanied by an increase in the load on the legs. To distribute the load, the toe is deflected to the side, which leads to the growth of the metatarsal bone.
- Excessive stress on the legs with a long working day, heavy physical exertion.
- Foot injuries.
To avoid this unpleasant disease, you need to regularly examine the feet. If it is difficult to move the thumb to the side, discomfort appears, then you need to start treatment.

However, walking with such a device is impossible. 
During the day, it is recommended to use special interdigital septa and correction pads. Accessories correct the position of the thumb, prevent the worsening of the disease.
