Interphalangeal Arthritis Treatment in Wayne, Paramus, and Parsippany NJ
Interphalangeal arthritis occurs in the fingers as a result of degenerative changes post traumatically, chronic wear or underlying inflammatory conditions.
Interphalangeal arthritis occurs in the fingers as a result of degenerative changes post traumatically, chronic wear or underlying inflammatory conditions. Over time, the cartilage wears down and the joint space narrows causing pain and swelling in the joint. Motion may be restricted and the patient may notice bony nodules surrounding the joint. Diagnosis may be made by x-ray that will show loss of joint space and may show osteophytes and joint degradation. If there is suspicion of an underlying systemic condition, it may be necessary to order blood tests. Treatment will begin conservatively with rest, anti-inflammatories and possibly an intraarticular cortisone injection. If a patient’s pain persists despite conservative management, they may be a candidate for surgery.
