Resumen

La uña en pinza es una onicopatía caracterizada por la sobrecurvatura transversal de la uña, lo que provoca el pinzamiento del lecho ungueal. El primer dedo del pie es el más frecuentemente afectado. Esta condición puede asociarse a dolor, que varía de leve a severo, y a un engrosamiento de la lámina ungueal que dificulta su corte. El tratamiento depende del grado de severidad y puede ser conservador o quirúrgico, especialmente cuando se asocia a dolor e inflamación.
