Relation between First Metacarpal Head Morphology and First Metacarpophalangeal Joint Degenerative Joint Disease: A Computer Model
Metacarpal head morphology and joint positioning significantly influence MCP joint biomechanics. Flat and biplanar shapes increase stress concentration, potentially elevating DJD risk. Convex morphology offers better stress dispersion, indicating a biomechanical advantage.
