Although the joints of the index finger are similar geometrically and kinematically, the occurrence of degenerative joint disease is more frequent and severe in the distal interphalangeal joint. Much circumstantial evidence exists to suggest a mechanical cause for the observed differences in frequen
The thumb carpometacarpal joint is a common site of osteoarthritis. It has been hypothesized that peaks of localized stress on the dorsoradial or volar-ulnar regions, or both, of the articular surfaces of the trapezium and metacarpal lead to erosion of cartilage and may be responsible for the progre
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to measure the ankle joint contact area under physiological load magnitudes using a stereophotography technique that allows accurate analysis of the entire joint surface without disrupting the joint during loading. Ten cadaveric foot and ankle specimens wer
