Curvatures of the DIP joints of the hand

Conclusion The purpose of this study is to gain better insight into the DIP joints of the hand. The asymmetry between the distal phalanx grooves and the middle phalanx condyles suggests that there may be a translational component to DIP joint motion. Our understanding of morphology may lend insight into the biomechanics and disease progression within the DIP joints.
