However, all other joints in our body can also be affected, as is often the case with the finger joints. The development of osteoarthritis is seen in an excess of stress, for example due to overweight or congenital and traumatic causes, such as malpositions of the joints.

The aim of therapy is to slow down joint degeneration, relieve pain, increase quality of life and maintain it for as long as possible.
