Who could forget that iconic moment in “The Real Housewives of Potomac” when Karen Huger screamed the Juanines of Ashley Darby?
Yes, she came for her buns, came for them strongly.
But while they can often be the rear of friendly jokes, youth are not real matters of laughter, according to a podiatrist from New York City.
Dr. Brad Schaeffer, TLC star “My feet are killing me““The notes that bunions are not just a cosmetic problem, and are deeper than you think.
“There is a common erroneous idea that youth are simple insensitive or bone overgun on the tip side, but they are a mood of real complex deformities of an unstable articulation in the foot that allows the big one to move,” he said.
“The condition is progressive and, as it worsens, it generally makes the turn, creating a visible bulge on the side of the foot.”
Here are some other bunion myths that this podiatrist wants to burst.
Buns are a “old” problem
“There are many erroneous myths and concepts about the buses and many of these people discourage seijs people care for them,” said Schaeffer. “Many people believe that youth are a problem that ‘the old women’ develop as results of years of use of high heels and narrow shoes.”
It turns out that “juanes are very common: almost 25% of adults in the United States only develop the condition,” he said.
And, although he acknowledges that “they look more commonly in older women,” he is also treated and only adolescents with bunions.
The bunions are caused by high heels
“There are myths that high heels causing youth,” he said. “While they can exacerbate the problem by pressing together and exerting pressure on the great articulation, they are not the main cause of the condition.”
The real culprit? Genetics.
“The status of races in families, which make genetics one of the main causes of youth,” he said. “The weak mechanical structure, such as the shape and structure of the foot, can cause such defects, and this is a feature that races in families.”
Buns are caused by awkward footwear
If you have bunions, your mother is more likely to blame your manolos. And wearing sneakers all day won. Save You.
“I see patients of all ages, genres and from all areas of life who develop youth, regardless of their choice of footwear,” he said.
Buns are not much
They may not be life, but unattended, they can become much more than one foot.
“Junets are a progressive deformity and, although it can begin as a minor discomfort, they cause severe pain and discomfort as they get worse,” he said.
“Many patients who once enjoyed very active lifestyles Angely have trouble simply walking and performing activities as their reunion progresses.”
Buns only occur by the big toe
According to Schaeffer, “a juane on the outside of the foot is called Bunion Sastres or
Buniontte “, and it’s not as nice as it sounds.
“I see patients who have bunions on both sides of their foot because their foot compensates in excess inside -bunion and out of bunion,” he said. “I have seen that people with high arches have bunionettes as their only problem without a bunion, but I always see them together.”
The bunions require greater surgery with tons of recovery time
At first there are non -surgical options at least.
“Podiators or the increase that patients try conservative options first,” he said. “These include buying shoes, padded or orthotics more wider for housing and reduce pain.”
If that does not cut it, the surgery can be next, but science has given us better options than its grandmother had.
“In the past, podiatric surgeons used a procedure called 2D osteotomy, where they shave by prolonged bone of the big toe and then cut and change the bone,” he said. “This eliminates cosmetic protuberance, but does not address the unstable articulation in the foot that causes the juane.”
Now, he prefers to correction of the 3D Bunion lapiplastic, a more modern surgical solution that addresses the root of the problem and puts patients again.
“This surgical approach allows the surgeon to return the structure of the patient’s foot to the normal 3D alignment,” he said.
This procedure also has a low recurrence rate, and most patients attach their alignment in clinical studies of 13 and 17 months.
The Buttom line? Schaeffer wants to “encourage people who do not fit that profile and can be ashamed to find attention to make an appointment with their doctor and talk about their treatment options.”
