Which of the following is not an indication of a bunion?

Hallux varus refers to an inward deviation of the big toe, which is the opposite of what occurs with a bunion (hallux valgus). A bunion, characterized by an outward deviation of the big toe at the metatarsophalangeal joint, typically presents with symptoms such as lateral prominence protrusion, known as a medial prominence, and can lead to joint destruction over time if left untreated. Hallux valgus (HAV) specifically describes the deformity itself and is a direct indication of bunion development. Therefore, hallux varus does not indicate a bunion but rather represents a different condition where the toe deviates in the opposite direction, making it the correct choice for this question.
