Locking of the metacarpophalangeal joint
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1986Intrinsic finger metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint locking is infrequent, although not rare. Our experience and the recent literature suggest that metacarpophalangeal locking is being recognized with increasing frequency. The various mechanisms responsible for intrinsic finger MP locking, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of this condition, are ...

Metacarpophalangeal Joint Dislocation
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2009Traumatic dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint is a relatively uncommon injury. The dislocation may be easily reducible (ie, simple) or require surgical intervention (ie, complex). The flexor tendons, lumbrical muscle, natatory ligament, and superficial transverse metacarpal ligament combine with the displaced volar plate to create a tight ...

Denervation of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint
Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2014Metacarpophalangeal joint osteoarthritis is a relatively common condition that hand surgeons have to deal with. When daily activities are impaired by pain and all conservative measures have failed, surgical treatments such as arthrodesis or joint replacement are indicated.

Metacarpophalangeal Joint Arthritis
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2011Arthritis of the metacarpophalangeal joint can result in considerable disability and pain. Inflammatory, posttraumatic, crystalline, and osteoarthritis are common etiologies of joint disease. A variety of nonsurgical treatment options have been shown to be effective, including activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, splinting, and ...

Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint Arthritis
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2019Arthritis of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint can be debilitating whether in isolation or in conjunction with degenerative disease at the adjacent joints. Despite its crucial role in fluid and dexterous motion of the thumb axis, little is known about the isolated incidence of pathology at this joint.

The Rheumatoid Metacarpophalangeal Joint
Hand Clinics, 2011Rheumatoid metacarpophalangeal joint deformities remain an important cause of disability. Surgical intervention in carefully selected patients improves function and prolongs independence. This article discusses the commonly used reconstructive techniques and their benefits.

The Metacarpophalangeal Joints in Interphalangeal Osteoarthritis
Radiology, 1973Case material and roentgenograms of 30 patients with interphalangeal osteoarthritis and 30 with rheumatoid arthritis were studied in an effort to determine if the two diseases could be differentiated radiographically. Narrowing of the interosseous spaces of the interphalangeal joints is commonplace in osteoarthritis, and, because it is ...

Arthroscopy of the Trapeziometacarpal and Metacarpophalangeal Joints
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2007Indications for small joint arthroscopy in the hand remain poorly understood. This is due to a paucity of papers discussing this technique in the literature, as well as inadequate hands on training in the pearls and pitfalls regarding this application within the commonly used "scope" of arthroscopy.

Roentgenographic Examination of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint
Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1975Roentgenographic examination of the metacarpophalangeal joints of the index, long, ring and the little fingers is carried out routinely in antero-posterior (AP) and oblique lateral projections, while pictures in the straight lateral projection of each joint are hard to evaluate because of overprojection of the other metacarpal bones and proximal ...

Dorsal locking of the metacarpophalangeal joint
The Journal of Hand Surgery: Journal of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, 1987Many causes for metacarpophalangeal joint locking have been documented. However nearly all are from volar entrapment of periarticular structures. The following case, unlike those previously reported in the literature, was one with locking caused by dorsal entrapment.
