Compression Arthrodesis of Finger Joints
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1979Compression 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.

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).

Finger joint coordination during tapping
Journal of Biomechanics, 2006We investigated finger joint coordination during tapping by characterizing joint kinematics and torques in terms of muscle activation patterns and energy profiles. Six subjects tapped with their index finger on a computer keyswitch as if they were typing on the middle row of a keyboard.

Experiences with a Finger-Joint Prosthesis
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1959A metal, hinged type of prosthesis has been developed for irreparably damaged joints of the finger in selected cases, as an alternative to amputation or arthrodesis. This operation, a procedure of salvage, is performed in the hope of restoring some degree of useful function in an otherwise useless part.

The proximal interphalangeal and metacarpo-phalangeal joints of the index fingers of four normal healthy female subjects were studied, using a three-dimensional biomechanical analysis. The activities investigated included the application of an isometric twisting moment on a fixture representing a water tap and pinching a 45 mm cylinder between the ...

METACARPOPHALANGEAL JOINT INJURIES IN FINGERS
Hand Clinics, 1992Although 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.

Fracture–Dislocation About the Finger Joints
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2009Fracture-dislocations in the small joints of the fingers are challenging injuries. The surgeon must choose an appropriate treatment based on fracture pattern, joint stability, and injury chronicity. Fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint are notoriously unforgiving, with potential long-term sequelae of residual pain and stiffness ...

[Vascularized joint transfer for finger joint reconstruction].
Handchirurgie, Mikrochirurgie, plastische Chirurgie : Organ der Deutschsprachigen Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Handchirurgie : Organ der Deutschsprachigen Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Mikrochirurgie der Peripheren Nerven und Gefasse : Organ der V..., 2007In a retrospective clinical study 16 vascularized joint transfers to the hand with an average follow-up of 8.2 (3 - 15) years were evaluated. The finger joint defect was caused by trauma in 12 patients, tumour in 2 patients and infection and congenital deformity in 1 patient each. There were 14 men and 2 women. The mean age range was 26 (2 - 42) years.
