Goro Ebihara, Masayoshi Ikeda, Yoshinori Oka

Abstract

We will report on a case with a large intra-articular loose body in the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint of the middle finger in a 30-year-old-male, which was mimicking a calcified tumourous lesion adjacent to the palmar side of the metacarpal head. It was easily removed through the palmar approach.
