Hyperextension injuries to the finger joints

The American Journal of Surgery, 1950
FIG. I. Dissection specimen showing intact interphaIangea1 Iigaments (I) and the bony protuberances at the insertion of the extensor tendon at (2) the distaI phaIanx and (3) the proximal phalanx; note that the interphaIangea1 ligaments are sturdy structures. FIG. 2.

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.

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

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 ...

Fracture–Dislocation About the Finger Joints

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2009
Fracture-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 ...

A concept of lubrication in finger joints

Journal of Applied Physics, 1976
From a previous study it was found that both sliding and rolling are present during finger joint articulation. The rolling tends to pump synovial fluid through the joint gap. A typical finger joint is modeled and expressions are obtained for this fluid flow.

Distribution of stresses in finger joints [PDF]

Wood Science and Technology, 1996
This paper presents results of theoretical and experimental studies determining distribution of stresses in connected elements and the glue bond of the finger joint. In cross sections away from the beam joint, it was found that the distribution of stresses was consistent with the theory of the strength of materials.

Marketing Finger-Jointed Timber

1982
The paper makes the point that a finger-joint in itself is not useful to end users or specifiers, it is what the manufacturer can achieve by using finger-jointing which is useful. Therefore the marketing effort has to be aimed at making finger-jointing acceptable to end users and specifiers so that a manufacturer can use the process whenever convenient
