The distal interphalangeal joints of human fingers

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1982
Abstract An examination of 100 specimens of the terminal joints of human fingers is described. Twenty-five hands fixed in fbrmalin and two additional fresh amputation specimens were investigated by dissection, inspection, palpation, and radiologic and microscopic examination.

FRACTURES OF THE DISTAL INTERPHALANGEAL JOINT

Hand Clinics, 1994
Displaced fractures at the distal end of the middle phalanx require reduction if function is to be restored at the distal joint. Fractures at the base of the distal phalanx take on additional significance because of the insertions of the flexor and extensor tendons.

Distal Interphalangeal Joint Injuries

Hand Clinics, 1988
Pain-free stability in the DIP joint is essential for effective stable pinch. Distal interphalangeal joint injuries usually achieve this function when treated as described. Stiffness in the DIP joint is not ideal, but its presence after treatment is not a major functional limitation if the joint is painless and aligned in the proper position.

Irreducible dislocation of the distal interphalangeal joint

The Journal of Hand Surgery: Journal of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, 1985
A case of irreducible dislocation of the distal interphalangeal joint of the finger caused by entrapment of the deep flexor tendon is reported.

Arthroscopic Distal Interphalangeal Joint Arthrodesis

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2008
Arthrodesis using a headless screw has been shown to be an effective surgical treatment for pain, deformity, or instability arising at the distal interphalangeal joint of the fingers or interphalangeal joint of the thumb. Previous publications have documented the utility of this treatment using open techniques.

Distal Interphalangeal Joint Fractures of the Hand

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
Fingertip fractures are some of the most common traumas encountered by hand surgeons. The distal interphalangeal joint is frequently involved and encompasses a spectrum of injury that can require simple splinting to open reduction and internal fixation procedures.

Flexural Deformity of the Distal Interphalangeal Joint

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2017
Flexural deformities in young horses are commonly referred to as contracted tendons, which is a term that is not consistent with what is currently understood about their cause. Flexural deformity of the distal interphalangeal joint can be either congenital (present at birth) or acquired (develop at a later stage of growth typically between 1 and 6 ...

Dorsal Digital Septum of the Distal Interphalangeal Joint

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2009
Clinical observation has led to the discovery of a distinct anatomic septum from the extensor tendon to the skin at the distal phalanx that appears to limit the proximal spread of infection from the dorsum of the distal phalanx. This study employed histology and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify this anatomic structure at the

Biomechanics of the Distal Interphalangeal Joint

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2010
Abstract This article summarizes the kinematics of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint during locomotion at walk and trot. The patterns and ranges of motion in flexion and extension are very similar at walk (range of motion: 46±40) and trot (range of motion: 47±40).

Silicone interpositional arthroplasty of the distal interphalangeal joint

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1989
Twenty-three female patients had silicone interpositional arthroplasty of the distal interphalangeal joint in 38 digits. The operative indications were pain and deformity of the distal interphalangeal joint. The underlying diagnosis was osteoarthritis in all but one patient who had rheumatoid arthritis. The average age at the time of operation was 58.3
