The extensor tendons of the fingers cross both the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal joints. Previous studies have shown that where the extensor tendons replace the capsule of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, they contain a sesamoid fibrocartilage that articulates with the proxi
Observations were made from the dissection of 156 digital joints (thumbs excluded). In all joints fibrocollagenous menisci projected into the articular cavity from a ring-like structure based on the joint capsule. These meniscal structures separated the articulating cartilage surfaces at the margins
