Joints Metacarpophalangeal

The metacarpophalangeal joints are the joints that connect the bones of the human hand to the bones of the fingers. They are located between the metacarpal bones and phalanges of the fingers.

The metacarpophalangeal joints provide mobility to the bones of the hand, allowing them to move in different directions. They also play an important role in holding and moving objects in the hand.

Normally, the metacarpophalangeal joints have a smooth surface and are covered with cartilage tissue. However, with various diseases such as arthritis, arthrosis or injury, these joints can become less mobile and more painful.

A variety of methods are used to treat metacarpophalangeal joints, including medication, physical therapy, exercise therapy, and surgery. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace the joint with a prosthesis.

It is important to remember that prevention of diseases of the metacarpophalangeal joints includes proper nutrition, regular physical activity, and avoidance of heavy loads and injuries.

Joints of the metacarpophalangeal bone

The metacarpophalangeal joints are the joints between the distal ends of the metacarpal bone and the middle phalanx of the fingers. They have a block-type joint.

Careful anatomy of the joint allows us to understand which ligaments and muscles perform its function. Strongly fortified
