Juanetes - Información general

Nombres alternativos

Deformidad en valgo del dedo gordo

Definición:

Se presenta cuando el dedo gordo del pie apunta hacia el segundo dedo. Esto causa una protuberancia en el borde del pie, en la articulación del dedo gordo.

Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo:

Los juanetes a menudo son causados por el uso de zapatos de punta estrecha y tacón alto que comprimen el dedo gordo y lo empujan hacia el segundo dedo. La afección puede volverse dolorosa a medida que el hueso extra y el saco lleno de líquido crecen en la base del dedo gordo. Esto lleva a que se presente dolor e hinchazón. Los juanetes ocurren con más frecuencia en las mujeres y algunas veces son un mal de familia.
