Abstract
Metacarpophalangeal joint arthritis of the index finger is a debilitating disease often caused by osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritides such as rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment options include nonsurgical management with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, splinting, occupational therapy, corticosteroid injections, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Operative management options include arthrodesis and arthroplasty, which can be further broken down into silicone implants and 2 component resurfacing implants. The article summarizes the current literature for each of the treatment options for metacarpophalangeal joint arthritis of the index finger.
