Meanings of metacarpophalangeal joint in anglès

ROI 2 included the area between the proximal interphalangeal and the metacarpophalangeal joint.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 27 patients who had a thumb metacarpophalangeal joint arthrodesis with a single longitudinal K-wire.

Purpose: To evaluate retrospectively the functional and radiographic outcome of patients who had a thumb metacarpophalangeal joint arthrodesis with a single longitudinal K-wire.

Methods: Fifty-eight RA patients and 30 healthy individuals underwent a micro-CT scan of the proximal wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints.

Disease is not confined to involvement of the metacarpophalangeal joints and often leads to severe damage requiring the replacement of joints.

Methods: 41 patients with PsA were examined for the presence of osteophytes and erosions at the metacarpophalangeal joints by high-resolution micro-CT imaging.

We report a 63-year-old man who presented with nodular lesions on the metacarpophalangeal joints and knees which were diagnosed of rheumatoid nodulosis.

RNA from young and old chondrocytes from macroscopically normal equine metacarpophalangeal joints was extracted and subjected to small RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).

Methods: HR-pQCT scans with a spatial resolution of about 120 µm of the second to fourth metacarpophalangeal joints were acquired in patients with RA.

The average active range of motion for the metacarpophalangeal joints was 47 degrees and for the proximal interphalangeal joints it was 58 degrees.
