Osteoarthritis of the distal interphalangeal joint.
Hand Clinics 1987 August
DIP joint arthritis may be painful and interfere with function of a finger or the entire hand. When conservative measures are no longer adequate to control the symptoms, operative intervention may be recommended. Arthrodesis is the procedure of choice in most situations, although specialized functional requirements may justify an attempt to maintain motion. Treatment of mucous cysts requires removal of the offending osteophyte as well as the cyst itself. Technique of skin closure depends on the situation and the surgeon's preference. Careful attention to the indications for surgery, to the education of the patient, to the anatomy, and to the surgical technique will usually lead to a beneficial result and will minimize complications.
