Mechanics of Metacarpophalangeal Joint Extension

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2018
It 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 ...

MR IMAGING OF THE METACARPOPHALANGEAL JOINTS

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 1995
The metacarpophalangeal joint complex represents an articulation not only between the metacarpal and proximal phalanx but in the case of the thumb also between the metacarpal and sesamoids. The collateral ligaments and volar plate contribute significantly to the stability of the metacarpophalangeal joints.

Dual Dislocation of Metacarpophalangeal Joints

Hand, 1972
Abstract 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.

Injuries of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint of the Thumb

Hand, 1971
Abstract A review of fifty patients with injury to the ulnar collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint of thumb has been carried out. In over two thirds the injury resulted from a simple fall. In one third of the cases there was a delay in treatment of over a month.

Degenerative Diseases of the Metacarpophalangeal Joints

Hand Clinics, 1987
Degenerative arthritis of the finger metacarpophalangeal joints is uncommon and, when seen, a specific etiology should be sought. MP joint arthritis in the absence of a history of trauma may signal an underlying systemic disease. The clinical and radiographic findings may be subtle.

METACARPOPHALANGEAL JOINT INJURIES IN FINGERS

Hand Clinics, 1992
Although 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.

Arthroscopy of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint

Operative Techniques in Orthopaedics, 2007
The use of arthroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving small joints is growing. In 1979, Chen was the first to describe arthroscopy of the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint for arthroscopic synovectomy in a patient with rheumatoid synovitis (Chen, Orthop Clin North Am 10:723-733, 1979).

METACARPOPHALANGEAL JOINT IMPLANT ARTHROPLASTY

AORN Journal, 1994
Rheumatoid 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 ...
