What is the thumb IP joint and what problems occur? The IP joint is the end joint of the thumb. It is shaped as a double dome side by side on the hand side of the joint and two side by side matching shallow curves on the nail side. This allows mobility in bending and straightening but stability in sideways and twisting movements.
These bands help stabilise the volar plates over the metacarpal heads. In contrast to the volar plates of the MCP joints of the fingers, the volar plate of the thumb MCP joint is a thick structure firmly attached to the base of the proximal phalanx. It forms the bottom of a two-sided box, the sides of which are made up of the collateral ligaments.
