Understanding Metacarpophalangeal Joint Injuries and Their Treatment
Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) refers to the joints located at the base of the fingers, between the metacarpal bones and the phalanges (finger bones). These joints allow for flexion, extension, and rotation of the fingers.
The MCP joints are important for grip strength and dexterity, and are commonly injured in sports such as basketball, where players may experience jammed or sprained fingers. Treatment for MCP joint injuries may include rest, ice, compression, and physical therapy to improve range of motion and strength.
