Finger Proximal Inter Phalangeal (P.I.P.) Motion : Joint Surfaces and Ligamentous Geometries Are Interrelated

Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution

Because in man, the knee joint and the Proximal Inter Phalangeal (P.I.P.-) joint of the finger show several similarities (Slattery, 1990), it is justified to analyze some of the human P.I.P.-joint´s functional morphology by making use of methodologies elsewhere applied on form and function of the human knee. Analyzing the shapes of the articular surfaces of the finger P.I.P.-joint is also needed in view of somber perspectives of some P.I.P. joint arthroplasties after a certain time (Sweets and Stern, 2011).
