Injuries to the proximal interphalangeal joint are common but frequently missed. They are often overtreated by prolonged immobilization, resulting in stiffness, which may be permanent. The purpose of the present article is to briefly review the relevant anatomy and biomechanics, present an approach to physical examination and diagnosis, and ...

DIP joint pain usually results from arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis or psoriatic arthritis. It results from inflammation, bone erosion, the formation of bony nodules on the joint, and swelling in tendons and ligaments where they attach to the joint.
When a person has osteoarthritis, the cartilage around a joint wears away, and friction occurs as the bones rub together. Sometimes, body spurs, known as Heberden’s nodes, can develop, and inflammation can occur. Together, these can leadTrusted Sourceto pain in the DIP joint.
Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory disease that commonly involvesTrusted Sourcethe DIP joints. Inflammation can cause the joints to become swollen and painful. One reason for this is enthesitis, which is when inflammation affects the place where ligaments and tendons meet a joint.
A person can have DIP joint pain in one finger. The reason why some people have this pain in one digit, while others have multiple fingers affected, is unknown. A mix of genetics and environmental factors is likely the cause.
Abstract. Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) injuries are among the most common in the hand and their severity is often underestimated. These injuries often lead to prolonged disability, pain, and stiffness. Appropriate treatment includes a thorough assessment, physical examination, and directed imaging.
Flexor digitorum profundus fractures are caused by forceful extension of the distal interphalangeal joint when in a flexed position, resulting in an avulsion fracture at the volar base of...
The proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is particularly vulnerable to injury as either an ligamentous or intra-articular fracture, with or without subluxation or dislocation. Middle...
