What is the MCP Joint?
The MCP joint (metacarpophalangeal joint) is the joint where the finger meets the hand, allowing movements such as bending, straightening, and spreading of the fingers. These joints play a crucial role in grip strength, dexterity, and fine motor skills.
Damage or disease affecting the MCP joint can significantly impact daily activities like writing, holding objects, or performing precise hand movements.
Common MCP Joint Conditions
At Surgenesis Hospital, we treat a wide range of MCP joint problems, including:
MCP Joint Arthritis
Degeneration or inflammation of the joint, commonly seen in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Ligament Injuries
Damage to ligaments causing joint instability and pain, often due to trauma or sports injuries.
MCP Joint Dislocation
Displacement of the joint due to injury, leading to pain and limited movement.
Tendon Injuries
Damage to tendons affecting finger movement and coordination.
Congenital Deformities
Birth conditions affecting MCP joint alignment and function.
Post-Traumatic Joint Damage
Joint stiffness or deformity following fractures or injuries.

Patients with MCP joint conditions may experience:
- Pain and swelling in finger joints
