| Myxoid cysts occur as translucent, solitary, rubbery pseudocysts over the dorsal interphalangeal joint and the base of the nail or toe. |
| The most common joint injuries in the hand involve the proximal interphalangeal joint of the digits, MP joint of the thumb, and basilar joint of the thumb. |
| If a single digit is infected, a finger splint supporting the interphalangeal joints in extension is usually adequate. |
| Flexion force applied against long finger extension distal to the proximal interphalangeal joint may provoke pain over the extensor muscle mass in the proximal forearm. |
| To avoid this complication, tenodesis using a strip of flexor digitorum superficialis fixed on the periostium of P1 in front of the proximal interphalangeal joint is carried out during the procedure using this tendon. |
| The development of arthrosis of the interphalangeal joints of the hand with accompanying erosive changes is seen 10 times more frequently in women. |
