Total Finger Replacement
 
Make a fist.

If you equate that simple motion with pain and stiffness, then perhaps you can sympathize with the thousands of people who suffer from a very troubling form of arthritis that affects their hands. People with rheumatoid arthritis have trouble flexing their knuckles, including the large ones at the top of the fist called the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) or proximal  the fin

interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the hand. These knuckle joints act as hinges between the long bones in the hand and the smaller bones in the fingers.

If arthritis in your hands is affecting your quality of life, finger joint replacement may be an effective pain relief option.
