bunion
The medical term for abnormal swelling of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is "hallux abducto valgus" or more commonly known as "bunion".
No, the metatarsophalangeal joint is not a hinge joint. It is a condyloid joint that allows for both flexion and extension, as well as some degree of abduction and adduction in the foot.
The condition is called hallux valgus, commonly known as a bunion. It involves a bony bump forming at the base of the big toe, causing the joint to enlarge and the toe to point towards the other toes.
The abnormal collection of pus, blood, or fluid in a joint cavity is known as an "effusion" or "joint effusion." When it specifically involves pus, it may be referred to as an "abscess" or "pyarthrosis" if due to infection. This condition can lead to joint swelling, pain, and reduced mobility, often requiring medical evaluation and treatment.
An abnormal joint fluid analysis may indicate infection, inflammation, gout, or autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. It can also reveal the presence of crystals, bacteria, or blood in the joint fluid, which can help in diagnosing the underlying cause of joint pain or swelling. Additional testing or imaging may be needed to confirm a diagnosis.
