There are two sets in each finger (except in the thumb, which has only one joint): "proximal interphalangeal joints" (PIJ or PIP), those between the first (also called proximal) and second (intermediate) phalanges "distal interphalangeal joints" (DIJ or DIP), those between the second (intermediate) and third (distal) phalanges

2017年10月26日 · Metacarpophalangeal Joint (MCP): The MP joint is where the hand bone meets the finger bone, referred to as the “knuckle.” These joints are very important, allowing us to bend/flex and spread our fingers.

2023年10月30日 · The interphalangeal joints of the hand are synovial hinge joints that span between the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges of the hand. In digits 2-5 these joints can be further classified based on which bones are involved.

MCP joint arthritis is the wearing away of cartilage in the metacarpophalangeal joint, also known as the knuckle. It causes pain, loss of motion, and swelling.

Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Pain is the most commonly injured joints of the hand. Find out more about PIP, its causes, treatment and more.

Various complications are possible after treatment for a PIP joint injury. Although joint stiffness and flexion contracture are most common, other complications include re-dislocation, posttraumatic arthritis, chronic swelling, or even permanent functional loss.

The dorsal approach to the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint offers access to the extensor tendon, joint capsule, collateral ligaments, the distal part of the proximal phalanx, and the base of the middle phalanx. This approach may be extended proximally and distally as needed.

2023年11月9日 · The proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the fingers are extremely important for gripping things with hands, more specifically, what is called the ‘power’ grip. Being a hinge joint, the joint’s articular surface and soft tissue do not permit any lateral movement.

2024年10月2日 · Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) Joint arthritis typically presents with pain, swelling, and limited motion. Inflammatory etiology is much more common than osteoarthritis

2022年12月1日 · Fingers have three joints: the joint where the finger connects to the hand, called the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint; the middle joint, called the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint; and the joint closest to the end of the finger, the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint.
