The rheumatoid metacarpophalangeal joint.

Burke, Frank
Abstract
Rheumatoid metacarpophalangeal joint deformities remain an important cause of disability. Surgical intervention in carefully selected patients improves function and prolongs independence. This article discusses the commonly used reconstructive techniques and their benefits. Case selection through a combined clinic with rheumatologists and hand therapists is recommended.
