What does VALGUS mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Describing a limb or joint that is bent outward, away from the midline of the body.
Valgus is used by doctors for deformities in which the part of a limb beyond a joint angles away from the centre, as in knock-knees or a bunion. The opposite condition, in which the limb bends inward, is called varus. Both terms come from Latin, and the pair is a common source of confusion for students of orthopaedics.
