    Hi, I recently had a bunion removed, I was told that the X-ray showed I have arthritis in that toe and may need invasive surgery.

      No what you had was juvenile abductus hallux a pathology caused by genetics plus rear foot to forefoot pathology

      this caused a protective rotation of the joint (the bunuon) and the toe to drift across

      however as this is abnormal then over time it can become arthritic but still be mobile

      need more of a description to answer nails
