The metacarpophalangeal joints connect the metacarpals to the proximal phalanges. They are condyloid synovial joints allowing flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction. Collateral ligaments stabilize the joints, while the joint capsules and synovial fluid facilitate smooth movement. These joints are commonly affected in inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced hand function. Proper understanding of their anatomy is crucial for surgical repair or rehabilitation. Structures of the Metacarpophalangeal Joint Diagram - Chart - diagrams and charts with labels.
