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 ...

METACARPOPHALANGEAL JOINT IMPLANT ARTHROPLASTY
AORN Journal, 1994Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) usually requires lifelong treatment and sometimes surgery. Metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) implant arthroplasty is one surgical treatment for patients with severe RA malformation of the finger joints. Although not a cure, MCPJ implant arthroplasty can enhance patients' quality of life by improving their performance of ...

Metacarpophalangeal Joint Arthroscopy: Indications Revisited
Hand Clinics, 2011Arthroscopic surgery has become the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment of major joint disorders. With advancement in arthroscopic technique, arthroscopy has become feasible in most human joints, even those as small as the finger joints. The metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) can become spacious with simple traction, the intra-articular anatomy

ARTHROSCOPY OF THE METACARPOPHALANGEAL JOINT
Hand Clinics, 1999The refinement of technology with improved lighting and smaller optics has made possible new techniques of MCP joint arthroscopy. It is the mastery of the unique anatomy of these different--not just smaller--joints, however, that permits the applications of these new skills.

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 ...

Mechanics of Metacarpophalangeal Joint Extension
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2018It is a common belief that extension of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of the finger is achieved via the sagittal bands acting as a sling or lasso to attach the extensor tendon to the base of the proximal phalanx. The aim of this study was to test the hypotheses that (1) division of the sagittal bands reduces extension force or torque of the MCP ...

Dual Dislocation of Metacarpophalangeal Joints
Hand, 1972Abstract An unusual dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joints is described. The same injury was produced in a cadaver hand by forcibly abducting the fourth and fifth metacarpophalangeal joints.

Perichondrial Grafting in Rheumatoid Metacarpophalangeal Joints
Hand, 1980A pilot study of perichondrial grafting in rheumatoid metacarpophalangeal joints is presented. Eighteen separate joints have been grafted with a mean follow-up time of eighteen months. Results and indications for this method of joint reconstruction in rheumatoid patients are discussed.

[Metacarpophalangeal joint replacement].
Der Orthopade, 2019Arthroplasty of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints is crucial for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Motion preserving therapies are mandatory for this joint, since loss of function of the MCP joint is detrimental. Many protheses or spacers have been introduced over the last 80 years, but most of them have been dismissed due to major complications.Since
