How To Treat Overlapping Fingers In A Bunion?

I have a bunion. I use customized orthotics prescribed by a doctor. My second toe rides over my middle toe. I want to correct the overriding toe by specific physical therapy. First I need to know: What muscle(s) and ligaments are involved in this deformity. All I want to know right now are the names of the muscles and ligaments involved. YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. The muscles involved probably be extensor halucis and extensor digitorum. If physiotherapy fails, surgical correction may be required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
