When arthritis occurs in the hand, it can cause pain and limit your ability to perform daily tasks. The most common types of hand arthritis include osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis (following an injury), and rheumatoid arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the smooth cartilage that covers joint surfaces gradually wears away or becomes damaged over time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cd-actions\"><a class=\"cd-btn cd-primary\" href=\"\/el\/contact-us\/\">Request a consultation<\/a><a class=\"cd-btn cd-outline\" href=\"tel:+35797760076\">Call +357 97 760076<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cd-hero-art\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27268%27%20height%3D%27300%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20268%20300%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27268%27%20height%3D%27300%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/cyprushandsurgery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Osteo_Fig11-268x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"Hand Osteoarthritis illustration\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"cd-summary\">\n<div class=\"wrap cd-summary-grid\">\n<div class=\"cd-fact\"><strong>Typical presentation<\/strong><span>Symptoms vary according to the condition and its severity<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"cd-fact\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><span>Focused clinical examination with appropriate imaging or tests<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"cd-fact\"><strong>\u0398\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03b5\u03af\u03b1<\/strong><span>An individual plan based on symptoms, function and goals<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"cd-body\">\n<div class=\"wrap cd-layout\">\n<div class=\"cd-content\">\n<section id=\"causes\" class=\"cd-section\"><span class=\"cd-number\">01 \u00b7 CAUSES<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\u0391\u03b9\u03c4\u03af\u03b5\u03c2<\/h2>\n<p>A healthy joint is made up of two smooth, cartilage-covered bone surfaces that move easily against one another. When these smooth surfaces begin to deteriorate, the joint no longer functions properly, leading to arthritis. Additionally, factors such as injury, infection, gout, psoriasis, and other conditions can contribute to the development of arthritis in the hand.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"signs-and-symptoms\" class=\"cd-section\"><span class=\"cd-number\">02 \u00b7 SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\u03a3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03af\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03a3\u03c5\u03bc\u03c0\u03c4\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1<\/h2>\n<p>Arthritis in the hand most frequently affects three areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At the base of the thumb where the thumb meets the wrist (the trapeziometacarpal or basilar joint)<\/li>\n<li>At the joint closest to the fingertip (the distal interphalangeal or DIP joint)<\/li>\n<li>At the middle joint of a finger (the proximal interphalangeal or PIP joint)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All forms of hand arthritis can result in stiffness, swelling, pain, and joint deformities. Osteoarthritis, in particular, may cause bony enlargements known as Bouchard\u2019s nodes at the middle joint or Heberden\u2019s nodes at the end joint of the finger. Arthritis at the basilar joint of the thumb can lead to noticeable swelling, a bump, and a deep, aching pain. A weakened grip or pinch may make everyday tasks like opening a jar or turning a key difficult.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"osteoarthritis-diagnosis\" class=\"cd-section\"><span class=\"cd-number\">03 \u00b7 OSTEOARTHRITIS DIAGNOSIS<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Osteoarthritis diagnosis<\/h2>\n<p>Your doctor will begin by asking about your hand and joint health, and how your symptoms affect your daily activities. A physical examination of your hands is performed to observe any changes in appearance or function. X-rays are commonly used to identify signs of osteoarthritis, such as joint space loss or the formation of bone spurs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"osteoarthritis-treatment\" class=\"cd-section\"><span class=\"cd-number\">04 \u00b7 OSTEOARTHRITIS TREATMENT<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Osteoarthritis treatment<\/h2>\n<p>The main goals in treating osteoarthritis are to reduce pain and restore function. Short periods of rest\u2014achieved by modifying activities or using a splint\u2014can be beneficial. When rigid splints are too restrictive, soft, supportive sleeves may offer relief. Applying heat through methods such as paraffin baths or warm compresses can soothe the joints and help maintain mobility. It\u2019s essential to keep the fingers as active as possible, and hand therapists can teach joint protection exercises and suggest activity modifications. Anti-inflammatory medications or steroid injections into the joint may alleviate pain, but they do not cure the arthritis.<\/p>\n<p>If non-surgical treatments do not provide sufficient relief, surgery might be considered. Typically, you will decide together with your doctor when surgery is the best option. The aim of surgery is to maximize function and minimize pain. One surgical option is joint fusion, in which damaged cartilage is removed and the bones are joined together. This procedure stops joint movement, thereby eliminating pain. Another option is joint reconstruction, where the damaged joint surface is replaced with either your own soft tissue or an implant. The choice of surgery depends on the specific joints involved, your anatomy, and your lifestyle. Your hand surgeon will help determine the most suitable surgical approach for your situation.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"key-takeaways\" class=\"cd-section\"><span class=\"cd-number\">05 \u00b7 KEY TAKEAWAYS<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\u0392\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac \u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03af\u03b1<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span><i><\/i><\/span>\n<div>\n<p>Hand arthritis, including osteoarthritis and other types, can significantly impact daily function.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><span><i><\/i><\/span>\n<div>\n<p>Joint deterioration leads to pain, swelling, and deformities that affect grip and mobility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><span><i><\/i><\/span>\n<div>\n<p>Treatment options range from conservative measures to surgery, tailored to individual needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"cd-aside\">\n<div class=\"cd-card\">\n<h3>Not sure what is causing your symptoms?<\/h3>\n<p>A specialist consultation can clarify the diagnosis and appropriate next steps.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/el\/contact-us\/\">Arrange an appointment<\/a><\/div>\n<nav class=\"cd-nav\"><strong>On this page<\/strong><a href=\"#causes\">\u0391\u03b9\u03c4\u03af\u03b5\u03c2<\/a><a href=\"#signs-and-symptoms\">\u03a3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03af\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03a3\u03c5\u03bc\u03c0\u03c4\u03ce\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1<\/a><a href=\"#osteoarthritis-diagnosis\">Osteoarthritis diagnosis<\/a><a href=\"#osteoarthritis-treatment\">Osteoarthritis treatment<\/a><a href=\"#key-takeaways\">\u0392\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac \u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03af\u03b1<\/a><\/nav>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"cd-cta\">\n<div class=\"wrap cd-cta-box\">\n<div class=\"cd-cta-copy\"><span class=\"eyebrow\">Specialist assessment<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Get clarity on your hand symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>Discuss your symptoms and treatment options with Dr. Constantinos Kritiotis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cd-actions\"><a class=\"cd-btn cd-primary\" href=\"\/el\/contact-us\/\">Request a consultation<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home &nbsp;\/&nbsp;
