  2. Acquired hand deformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquired_hand_deformity

    Mallet finger is acquired due to injury to the thin extensor tendon that functions to straighten the end (DIP) joint of a finger. [8] Jamming of the finger induces a rupture of the extensor tendon or a broken bone at the tendon's site of attachment. [9] This results in a droopy and crooked appearance of the end joint of the finger, resembling a ...

    The bone edema in arthritis mutilans can be treated with TNF inhibitors in the short term: a 2007 study found that the bone edema associated with psoriatic arthritis (of which arthritis mutilans is a subtype) responded to TNF inhibitors with "dramatic" improvement, but the study was not determinative of whether TNF inhibitors would prevent new ...

    Jaccoud arthropathy (JA), is a chronic non-erosive reversible joint disorder that may occur after repeated bouts of arthritis. [1] [2] It is caused by inflammation of the joint capsule and subsequent fibrotic retraction, causing ulnar deviation of the fingers, through metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) subluxation, [1] [3] primarily of the ring and little-finger.

Hand injuries when not treated on time can result in long term morbidity. [6] Simple hand injuries do not typically require antibiotics as they do not change the chance of ...

  6. Swan neck deformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_neck_deformity

    Swan neck deformity has many of possible causes arising from the DIP, PIP, or even the MCP joints. In all cases, there is a stretching of the volar plate at the PIP joint to allow hyperextension, plus some damage to the attachment of the extensor tendon to the base of the distal phalanx that produces a hyperflexed mallet finger.

  7. Heberden's node - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heberden's_node

    Heberden's nodes are hard or bony swellings that can develop in the distal interphalangeal joints (DIP) (the joints closest to the end of the fingers and toes). [1] They are a sign of osteoarthritis and are caused by formation of osteophytes (calcific spurs) of the articular (joint) cartilage in response to repeated trauma at the joint.
