Abstract

Arthropathy of the hand is commonly encountered. Contributing factors such as aging, trauma, and systemic illness all may have a role in the evolution of this pathology. Besides rheumatoid arthritis, other diseases affect the small joints of the hand. A review of nonrheumatoid hand arthropathies is beneficial for clinicians to recognize these problems.

Keywords: Nonrheumatoid; arthritis; joint replacement; middle finger joints.
