The ability to flex and extend the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is crucial for adequate
grip strength. Estimates show that the PIP joint accounts for approximately 85% of the motion …

Fracture–dislocations in the small joints of the fingers are challenging injuries. The surgeon
must choose an appropriate treatment based on fracture pattern, joint stability, and injury …

PURPOSE: Hemi-hamate resurfacing arthroplasty is a treatment alternative for the
management of severe acute and chronic dorsal proximal interphalangeal (PIP) fracture …

PURPOSE: Surgical intervention may be necessary to treat unstable dorsal fracture–
dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the hand. One method of …

The hand is essential in humans for physical manipulation of their surrounding environment.
Allowing the ability to grasp, and differentiated from other animals by an opposing thumb …

Fracture-dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint encompass a spectrum of injury
severity, ranging from injuries that require little intervention to those that require advanced …
