In the metacarpophalangeal joint, flexion and extension are considered to be the primary movements. Active flexion has a range of motion of approximately 90° whereas extension ranges from 10° in the index finger to 30° in the little finger. Flexion in the third to the fifth MCP joint is...
Studies of muscle moment arms have classically followed a method of superposition whereby the measurement or derivation of moment arm magnitudes at any given joint assume independence of the position of joints proximal to the joint under study. This is particularly important for muscles crossing multipl...
Recently, it was proposed that MCP-5 exerts a dual function during development of the joint and growth plate.17 Of note, it was shown that MCP-5 blocks the progression of progenitor mesenchymal cells to chondrocyte hypertrophy and mineralization within the growth plate. Taking these previous ...

Commonly used procedures like arthrodesis, amputation or ray resection of the finger compromise the functionality of the injured finger. Especially for young patients, the restoration of all functions of the fingers is a priority. Local tissue transfers for finger joint reconstructions is not an ...

Our aim was to reassess the US7 score for the identification of the most frequently pathologic and responsive joint/tendon regions, to optimize it and contribute to an international consensus. Furthermore, we aimed to evaluate the impact of disease duration on the performance of the score. ...
