There are two sets in each finger (except in the thumb, which has only one joint) Proximal interphalangeal joints" (PIJ or PIPJ), those between the first (also called proximal)
Key points. Introduction. The proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) is a complex anatomic structure. There are several variations on surgical approaches to the PIPJ via volar, dorsal, or lateral incisions. Regardless of the approach used, a complete understanding of the anatomy is critical.

1. Replacement arthroplasty aims to relieve pain, restore motion, and maintain stability of the affected joint. Designing an effective replacement arthroplasty requires a thorough understanding of current biomaterials and an appreciation of the complex PIP joint biomechanics. Biomechanics.
Nov 9, 2023 · Reading time: 4 minutes. The proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the fingers are extremely important for gripping things with hands, more specifically, what is called the ‘power’ grip. Being a hinge joint, the joint’s articular surface and soft tissue do not permit any lateral movement.
