Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) injuries are common and challenging to treat, involving a spectrum of conditions ranging from isolated ligamentous injuries to severe fracture dislocations. The main goal of treatment is to achieve a congruent, stable joint, which is key to achieving early range of motion and a favorable outcome. Injuries that do not compromise the stability of the joint may be treated nonsurgically, whereas those that render the joint unstable may be managed with one of many surgical strategies available. This article focuses on the current practices of treatment of injuries around the PIPJ.

Purpose: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication that has been extensively investigated in large joint arthroplasty. However, this has been inconsistently reported after metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) arthroplasty. The objective of the study was to report the presentation and treatment of patients with PJI after MCP or PIP joint arthroplasty.

Key principles of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) management include early patient evaluation by a rheumatologist and early initiation of pharmacologic therapy in patients at risk for chronic disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to prevent joint damage. Patients with RA usually report pain and swelling in multiple joints and prolonged stiffness in the morning that improves with activity.

This study aimed to evaluate early clinical outcomes following treatment with K-wire or IM fixation.
Methods: A retrospective review of all proximal phalanx fractures treated surgically at a single center by multiple surgeons was performed from May 1, 2019 to March 1, 2024.

Lateral band snapping syndrome can be a debilitating condition involving the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the fingers. Although rare, it is thought to occur due to disruption of the finger extensor mechanism allowing inappropriate subluxation of the lateral bands over the PIP joint, leading to mechanical and painful symptoms.Here, we describe a woman in her early 40s with a painful, snapping PIP joint secondary to a work-related injury.
