    Interphalangeal joints of the hand - Wikipedia

    • The interphalangeal joints of the hand are the hinge joints between the phalanges of the fingers that provide flexion towards the palm of the hand. There are two sets in each finger (except in the thumb, which has only one joint): "proximal interphalangeal joints" (PIJ or PIP), those between the first (also called proximal) and second (intermediate) phalanges"… See more

    Joint structure

    The PIP joint exhibits great lateral stability. Its transverse diameter is greater than its antero-posterior diameter and its … See more

    Movements

    The only movements permitted in the interphalangeal joints are flexion and extension.
    • Flexion is more extensive, about 100°, in the PIP joints and slightly more restricted, about 80°, i… See more

  1. Inter-phalangeal joint
    • According to 2 sources
    The Inter-phalangeal joint (IP joint) is the end joint of the thumb. It is shaped as a double dome side by side on the hand side of the joint and two side by side matching shallow curves on the nail side. This allows mobility in bending and straightening but stability in sideways and twisting movements.

    Interphalangeal Joint (IP) The thumb digit has only two phalanges (bones) so it only has one joint. The thumb interphalangeal (IP) joint is similar to the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint in the fingers. The IP joint in thumb is located at the tip of the finger just before the fingernail starts.

    What is Pip and DIP joint?
    The one closest to the MCP joint (knuckle) is called the proximal IP joint (PIP joint). The joint near the end of the finger is called the distal IP joint (DIP joint). Secondly, why does my PIP joint hurt? PIP joint dislocation occurs when trauma causes the bones in the middle joint of a finger to dislodge.
