Posttraumatic Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Flexion Contractures
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2006Normal motion of the proximal interphalangeal joint requires bony support, intact articular surfaces, unimpeded tendon gliding, and uncompromised integrity of the collateral ligaments and volar plate. Deficiency in any one of these structural requirements can lead to a loss of finger joint motion and decreased hand function.
