Can anyone help me? My pinky sometimes hurts when it stretches. I don't know if it's because my fingers are so flexible, or it's this. Can anyone help me? I'm kinda scared. ):
fixed flexion deformity at the PIP joints and hyperextension of the DIP joints at the 4th and 5th fingers of the left hand..some limited flexion on the left thumb?
also called boutonniere's deformity..yes it can be fixed by surgery
this is an older gentleman. You younger RA patients don't be so concerned about the deformities. There are treatments and medications available now that can slow or prevent such progresssion.
Try having this a young child!!
