  1. The interphalangeal joints of the hand are the hinge joints between the phalanges of the fingers that provide flexion towards the palm of the hand . There are two sets in each finger (except in the thumb, which has only one joint): Anatomically, the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints are very similar. There are some minor differences in ...

  2. Oct 30, 2023 · The interphalangeal joints of the hand are synovial hinge joints that span between the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges of the hand. In digits 2-5 these joints can be further classified based on which bones are involved. The proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ or PIJ) is located between the proximal and middle phalanges, while the distal ...

  6. A complete understanding of the normal anatomy and biomechanics of the proximal interphalangeal joint is critical when treating pathology of the joint as well as in the design of new reconstructive treatments. The osseous anatomy dictates the principles of motion at the proximal interphalangeal joint. Subsequently, the joint is stabilized ...

  8. Nov 9, 2023 · 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. Its uniaxial nature allows for a good range of movement but only in one ...
