Arthrosis of the proximal interphalangeal joints (PIP joints) is a frequent joint disorder that involves considerable limitations in everyday activity and in many cases pain.
Since the PIP joints are responsible for about 40% of the overall mobility of the finger, good function of the same is very important. As opposed to the distal interphalangeal joint, where arthrodesis is currently the surgical procedure of choice, movement-preserving surgery using an artificial joint is usually preferred in the case of the PIP joint.
