Swan neck deformity is characterized by proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint hyperextension and flexion of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint. There is also reciprocal flexion noted of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint. This is a result of an imbalance of the extensor mechanism of the digit.
Swan Neck Deformities are degenerative conditions, often seen with rheumatoid arthritis, characterized by hyperextension of the PIP joint and flexion of the DIP joint due to an imbalance of muscle forces on the PIP.
Treatment for swan neck deformity can be nonsurgical or surgical. The approach used depends on whether the PIP joint is flexible or stiff. Successful nonsurgical treatment is based on restoring balance in the structures of the hand and fingers.
Without treatment, the DIP joint droops and won't straighten out. This condition is called a mallet finger. The extensor tendon may become imbalanced and begin to pull the PIP joint into hyperextension, forming a swan neck deformity. Chronic inflammation from RA can also disrupt the very end of the extensor tendon.
Swan neck deformity is the result of ligament and joint damage. Hyperextension of the middle finger joint forms a shallow “V” shape, while a flexion in the joint farthest from the palm points the fingertip downward. The resulting shape may resemble that of a swan's neck.
What treatment options are available?Physical therapy and occupational therapy. If SND is mild, your doctor may recommend PT or OT as your first line of treatment. ... Splinting. Your doctor may advise a splint to try to correct and stabilize the SND. ... Soft tissue repair. ... PIP joint arthroplasty. ... Finger joint fusion.
Treatment of swan-neck deformity is aimed at correcting the underlying disorder when possible. Mild deformities that have not yet developed scarring may be treated with finger splints (ring splints), which correct the deformity while still allowing a person to use the hand.
Bony bumps on the finger joint closest to the fingernail are called Heberden's nodes. Bony bumps on the middle joint of the finger are known as Bouchard's nodes.
No. Mallet finger is an injury and is unrelated to arthritis.
Osteoarthritis most commonly affects the hands, lower back, neck, and weight-bearing joints such as knees, hips, and feet.
Bouchard's nodes are caused by finger osteoarthritis. There is no one cause of finger OA, but several factors increase your risk of developing it, along with Bouchard's nodes, including: Long-term repetitive stress to the fingers, whether occupational or recreational. Increasing age, especially being over 65.
Boutonniere deformity is a deformed position of the fingers or toes, in which the joint nearest the knuckle (PIP) is permanently bent toward the palm while the farthest joint (DIP) is bent back away (PIP flexion with DIP hyperextension).
