Joint replacement - Arthroplasty - Pyrolytic carbon - Metacarpophalangeal jointRheumatoid arthritis most commonly affects the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints of the hand. Pyrolytic carbon MCP arthroplasty has lately provided a new alternative in the treatment of these patients, but reports in the ...
A fracture of the sesamoid bone of the hand is rarely seen. In most cases, it is strictly associated with the trauma. The patient complains of a long-lasting, due to unclear diagnosis, painful swelling of the joint with an inability to flex the affected finger. Limited blood supply makes ...

of the nature of the soft tissue anatomy that defines the paths of the intrinsic muscles of the hand inserting into the extensor hood (also known as the dorsal expansion), this assumption may not be true for the intrinsic muscle moment arms at the Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) Joint. These...
Background A variety of metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) arthrodesis techniques have been described for the treatment of symptomatic arthritis and instability of the thumb MCPJ including K wire fixation, tension-band arthrodesis, plate fixation, intramedullary screw, and other intramedullary devices. ...
MCP jointRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the small joints of the hand.
