Bilateral bunions

What does "Bilateral bunions" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.

Explanation

Bilateral bunions refer to a medical condition where a person has bunions on both feet. A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. This happens when some of the bones in the front part of the foot move out of place, causing the tip of the big toe to get pulled toward the smaller toes and forcing the joint at the base of the big toe to stick out. The term "bilateral" simply means that the condition is present on both sides.
