A New Finger Joint Prosthesis

ASAIO Journal, 1993
A new finger joint prosthesis is being developed for the proximal and distal interphalangeal positions. Currently available "joint spacer" prostheses provide relief from pain and cosmetic improvement, but relatively poor long-term function. The new prosthesis employs a mechanical hinge at the joint. It is fabricated from titanium alloy (6A14V).

Compression Arthrodesis of Finger Joints

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1979
Compression arthrodesis is useful for treatment of finger and thumb joints in arthrosis, scleroderma, hypermobile joints, paralytic deformities, and rheumatoid arthritis. A dorsal incision exposes the joint. Its surfaces are prepared in a ball-and-socket arrangement using a high-speed burr.

ANATOMY OF THE JOINTS OF THE FINGERS

Hand Clinics, 1992
The anatomy and function of the three joints within each finger are mutually complementary; none functions independently of the other two. A complex, yet precise, intrinsic and extrinsic soft-tissue support links these three joints and provides a precisely articulated balance for the mobility of the finger.

Management of the Traumatized Joint of the Finger

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1989
Selection of the reconstructive technique for the traumatized joint requires a careful consideration of the condition of the injured and adjacent joints, the needs and desires of the patient, and an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the available options. The MP joint is the key to a useful arc of motion, providing 77 per cent of the

Fracture Dislocation of the Finger Joints

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2014
Fracture dislocations of the hand are difficult and often unforgiving injuries. Keys to treatment include early recognition, stable concentric reduction, and protected early active range of motion maintaining joint stability. The balance between stability and mobility is difficult to manage; therefore, surgeons need a wide array of treatments to tailor

The Coordination of Finger-Joint Motions

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1963
An anatomical study of finger movements has been reviewed. It has been shown that the function of a muscle with respect to a certain joint cannot be inferred from the position of the muscle with respect to that one joint alone. In the fingers, especially, the tendons bridge more than one joint; a number of joints must be analyzed before it can be ...

CAPSULECTOMY OF THE INTERPHALANGEAL JOINTS OF THE FINGERS

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1954
A group of fifty patients, twenty-five of whom presented a limitation of extension of the fingers, and twenty-five a limitation of flexion of fingers, as a result of mechanical limitation at the interphalangeal joints, has been studied.

CARPOMETACARPAL JOINT INJURIES OF THE FINGERS

Hand Clinics, 1992
Injuries to the carpometacarpal joints are uncommon and are sometimes overlooked on initial radiographs. Their recognition depends on a careful physical and radiographic examination that may require trispiral tomograms and CT scans. Most injuries can be treated successfully by closed reduction and percutaneous fixation of the joint(s) using Kirschner ...

METACARPOPHALANGEAL JOINT INJURIES IN FINGERS

Hand Clinics, 1992
Although uncommon, injuries to the MP joints of fingers must not be ignored. A loss of function in even a single MP joint can seriously impair overall hand function. The potential dire consequences of these injuries can be avoided by an accurate diagnosis at the time of injury and the institution of appropriate treatment.

Joints of the Fingers

2002
The metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the fingers, like the joints of the toes (see Chap. 12), have become accessible to arthroscopic examination and treatment.
