Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Arthritis

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2010
Proximal interphalangeal joint function is critical for proper finger and hand function and arthritis of this joint can lead to considerable hand impairment. Proximal interphalangeal joint arthritides are broadly categorized into nonerosive and erosive osteoarthritis (OA), posttraumatic arthritis, and inflammatory arthritis.

Fractures of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2000
Fractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint constitute a broad spectrum of injuries. An understanding of the anatomy, the potential for joint instability, and the treatment options is essential to management of these fractures. Commonly observed fracture patterns involve one or both condyles of the proximal phalanx or the base of the middle phalanx.

Ganglions of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint

Orthopedics, 2000
ABSTRACT Ganglions of the proximal interphalangeal joint are uncommon. Six patients (nine ganglions) were treated surgically. The lesions presented on the ulnar aspect of the extensor mechanism between the lateral band and the central slip and communicated with the joint by means of a stalk.

Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Arthroplasty

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984
Prosthetic implant arthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint has a limited role in the reconstruction of the rheumatoid hand. Ninety-three PIP joint arthroplasties, including 56 Flatt, 30 Swanson, and seven Niebauer implants, were reviewed with postoperative follow-up periods averaging 6.2 years. The average maximum extension/flexion for

CONTRACTURES OF THE PROXIMAL INTERPHALANGEAL JOINT

Hand Clinics, 1992
Posttraumatic stiffness of proximal interphalangeal joints remains a difficult problem that severely compromises hand function. The emphasis of treatment must be on preventing the problem from developing, which begins within hours of the injury. Effective treatment involves a careful evaluation of the injury and then instituting a rational course of ...

The Proximal Interphalangeal Joint in Dupuytren’s Disease

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1985
In one hundred patients with Dupuytren’s disease, one hundred and fifty-four operations were performed. The average pre-operative proximal interphalangeal joint contracture was 42° and the average percentage improvement in proximal interphalangeal joint extension at post­operative review was 41%. Fourteen amputations were performed (9.1%).

Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Arthroplasty for Fracture

Hand Clinics, 2023
Proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasties can be performed in the setting of acute comminuted fracture, chronic fracture presentations, and posttraumatic arthritis. These surgeries provide excellent pain relief and patient satisfaction but patients should be cautioned not to expect an improvement in motion postoperatively.

Treatment of Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Contracture

Hand Clinics, 2018
Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) flexion contracture is a challenging and often frustrating problem. Treatment of PIPJ contracture begins with conservative measures. With good compliance and prolonged use, favorable results can be achieved using these modalities.

Resection Arthroplasty of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1993
Palmar plate resection arthroplasty of the PIP joint, a new technique for operative treatment of destroyed PIP joints, is presented. By combining palmar plate arthroplasty with a flexor tenodesis a stable arthroplasty with adequate active motion can be performed. It can be used even in severely destroyed joints and still provide adequate post-operative

PROXIMAL INTERPHALANGEAL JOINT FRACTURE DISLOCATIONS

Hand Clinics, 2000
Proximal interphalangeal joint fracture dislocations are complex, potentially disabling injuries for any patient, especially the competitive athlete. Dorsal fracture dislocations are fairly common and volar fracture dislocations are rare. Stable injuries often heal with minimal functional deficit, whereas unstable injuries can result in limitation in ...
