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).

Dorsal locking of the metacarpophalangeal joint

The Journal of Hand Surgery: Journal of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, 1987
Many 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.

The Metacarpophalangeal Joints in Interphalangeal Osteoarthritis

Radiology, 1973
Case 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 ...
