Knuckle pads are benign subcutaneous fibrotic nodules that are seen in the finger joints and/or the extensor area of the foot. [6] [7] [8] From a clinical perspective, these are well-defined, non-compressible, freely moveable lesions that resemble warts and primarily affect the dorsal portion of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and, less frequently, the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints.
Bart–Pumphrey syndrome, also known as palmoplantar keratoderma with knuckle pads and leukonychia and deafness [1]) is a cutaneous condition characterized by hyperkeratoses (knuckle pads) over the metacarpophalangeal, proximal and distal interphalangeal joints. [1] It was characterized in 1967. [2] It can be associated with GJB2. [3]
Garrod's pads, also known as violinist's pads, [1] are a cutaneous condition characterized by calluses on the dorsal aspect of the interphalangeal joints, [2] i.e. the back side of the finger joints. They are often seen in violin , viola , and cello players, along with fiddler's neck and other dermatologic conditions peculiar to string ...
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a disorder characterized by catching or locking of the involved finger in full or near full flexion, typically with force. [2]
Risk factors for primary, or idiopathic adhesive capsulitis include many systemic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, stroke, lung disease, connective tissue diseases, thyroid disease, heart disease, autoimmune disease, and Dupuytren's contracture. [14] Both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are risk factors for the condition. [14]
A scoring system was made to evaluate the risk of recurrence and extension, based on the following values: bilateral hand involvement, little-finger surgery, early onset of disease, plantar fibrosis, knuckle pads, and radial side involvement. [82] Minimally invasive therapies may precede higher recurrence rates. Recurrence lacks a consensus ...
Although the specific cause and etiology are yet unknown, excessive mechanical manipulation of PIP joints is likely to be a contributing factor. [7] The basis for this suggestion is the discovery that pachydermodactyly is related to a variety of jobs and pursuits, including weightlifting, [6] employment in food processing facilities, [8] martial arts, climbing, [9] and individuals with OCD who ...
This is a very rare complication occurring in chronic cases. Treatment entails synovial excision and total joint replacement. [citation needed] Clicking, grating, or locking may result from acute mechanical problems due to intra-articular bodies within the affected joint. Locking may destroy articular cartilage, resulting in secondary ...
