Purpose: This study aimed to determine the functional characteristics of various arthrodesis angles of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the border fingers.
Methods: The dominant hands of 48 volunteers were tested using custom orthoses to simulate PIP joint arthrodesis. For the index finger (IF), orthoses were made in 25°, 40°, and 55° of flexion (IF25, IF40, and IF55).
