Swan Neck Deformity of the Finger
Welcome to Body Fusion, your trusted source for comprehensive information on hand conditions and injuries. In this article, we will discuss Swan Neck Deformity of the Finger, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
What is Swan Neck Deformity?
Swan Neck Deformity of the Finger is a condition characterized by the abnormal flexion of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP joint) combined with hyperextension of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP joint). This results in a characteristic "swan neck" appearance of the affected finger. The deformity is named so as it resembles the elegant curve of a swan's neck.
Swan Neck Deformity can occur as a result of various factors, including:
- Underlying medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis
- Trauma to the finger
- Ligamentous laxity
- Genetic predisposition
Symptoms of Swan Neck Deformity
Individuals with Swan Neck Deformity may experience the following symptoms:
- Pain and discomfort in the affected finger joint

- Swelling and redness around the affected joint
- Weakness and instability in the finger
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
