Dec 20, 2023 · The proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) refers to the articulation between the proximal and middle phalanx in the hand. It is present in all digits except the thumb. It is a synovial hinge joint which permits flexion and extension in center of the fingers, contributing to fine motor control.
PIP: proximal interphalangeal joint between the proximal and middle phalanges DIP: distal interphalangeal joints between the middle and distal phalanges The function of the interphalangeal joints of the hand is to permit fine motor movements in the digits, including flexion towards the palm.
