Hand swan neck deformity

by | Jan 20, 2025

Swan neck deformity is a condition that affects the fingers, causing a distinctive swan-like curve. This occurs when the joint closest to the palm (DIP joint) bends downward while the middle joint (PIP joint) extends too far upward. If you’re experiencing this, it may stem from underlying conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, or ligament damage. Left untreated, this deformity can make everyday tasks—like gripping or performing fine movements—challenging and frustrating.


At our state-of-the-art facility, we specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions like swan neck deformity with care and precision. Treatment options range from splinting and physical therapy to advanced surgical techniques designed to realign your fingers and restore functionality. Early intervention is key to preventing further complications, and our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
