Challenges in Hand Surgery Training

Chuck and Chris discuss use a listener submitted case as the basis of a discussion of the PIP joint.  We break down treatment considerations for a dorsally subluxated PIP joint that is stiff in extension.  Dive in with us- complicated discussion!  We also briefly touch on FPL ruptures, the rheumatoid hand (and the disappearing art of treating it).

The stiff finger was a part of our discussion- here is the reference which might be helpful.
