The purpose of this study was to analyse the 1-year outcomes after combining a surface replacing proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasty and a distal interphalangeal screw arthrodesis and to compa...
This pilot study aims to evaluate concurrent validity using the goniometer as a reference tool and test-retest reliability of flexion of metacarpal phalangeal joint (MCP) measurements taken from a fin...
We present a unique case of a 45-year-old man with his right middle finger embedded with rings. Limited finger flexion was noted because of flexor tendon injury caused by the dorsal migration of the e...
Our unique case reveals continuous finger ring migration without compromising neurovascular bundles, with review of 30 cases emphasizing the importance of psychiatric consultation. Timely intervention...
The objective of this study was to investigate the relation between swelling and tenderness of individual finger joints and grip force in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA)....
In an inception cohort of patients with early RA (symptom duration < 12 months), all patients were examined by the same rheumatologist, and grip force was measured using the Grippit instrument at incl...
In 215 patients with early RA, grip force was 39% of expected at diagnosis, and increased to 56% after 5 years. Synovitis of the first metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint (60% and 69% at baseline in the r...
MCP I synovitis is the major contributor to reduced grip force in patients with early RA. This underlines the importance of the involvement of the thumb for impaired hand function in RA. MCP IV synovi...
The management of old bony mallet fingers is complicated. The purpose of this study was to describe direct fixation of fracture fragment with modified double Kirschner wires (K-wires) for treatment of...
Forty-nine patients with old bony mallet finger were enrolled and underwent surgical treatment from August 2014 to January 2021 in our hospital. Patients were divided into two groups according to whet...
Neither QuickDASH nor visual analogue scale measurement found statistically significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, the patients that underwent fixation with double K-wires ...
Direct fixation of fracture fragment with modified double K-wires was an easy and feasible procedure which could achieve anatomical reduction and stable fixation of the dorsal fracture block of old bo...
Numerous techniques for arthrodesis have been described to fix interphalangeal (IP) joints, and the fixation method should be considered on a case-by-case basis. This study aimed to investigate the av...
A total of 43 joints (19 thumb IP joints, 9 proximal finger interphalangeal (PIP) joints and 15 distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints in 29 patients with a mean age of 66 years (range, 24-85 y) were ret...
Of these 43 digits, 42 achieved bone union (97.7%). Non-union was seen in a thumb IP joint of mutilans rheumatoid arthritis. Mean correction loss of deviation was 1.0°, and flexion or extension angula...
The two-DIOW method appears to offer an effective method of IP joint fixation, but caution should be exercised in digits of severe joint destruction and in the treatment of wire knot....
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) usually affects the wrist, metacarpophalangeal joint, and proximal interphalangeal joint of the hands. However, the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints may also be involved i...
Medical records of patients with RA were reviewed retrospectively. Patients with major trauma affecting DIP joints, osteoarthritis, erosive osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic sclerosis, cal...
We reviewed 1213 patients with a mean age of 54.3 ± 12.5 years; 82.8% of them were female, and 95.4% had RA-type erosive changes. The DIP erosion rate was 12%. DIP involvement was generally unilateral...
In this large-sample study, we reported DIP joint involvement in patients with RA. Advanced age could have affected the results because hand erosions increase above 50 years in a healthy population. O...
Osteoarthritis (OA) contributes increasingly to disability worldwide. There is ample high-quality research on the treatment of knee and hip OA, whereas research on surgical and non-surgical treatment ...
In this parallel-group, two-armed, randomized, controlled superiority trial (RCT), 90 participants are assigned to surgical PIP joint denervation or education and exercise. Pain on load 1 year after i...
There are no previous RCTs comparing surgical and non-surgical treatment in PIP OA. If patient education plus exercise or PIP denervation improve function, these treatments could be implemented as fir...

A 51-year-old patient presented with a painful swelling palmar to the metacarpophalangeal joint of the ring finger. A round tumor was detected using X-rays and MRI. After excision, tumoral calcinosis ...
