Hello and Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for writing to us.
From description it seems to hallaux valgus(bunion) great toe. For correction of deformity you need surgical correction. For loose body which causes pain and joint movement restriction, surgical removal is required. So I suggest you to consult your orthopaedic for the same.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
