[Proximal interphalangeal articulation in man].
A report is presented on microdissections of the proximal interphalangeal joint, in particular the proximal attachments of volar plate and tendon sheath. The proximal anchorage of the joint capsule is assured by three components, occurring bilaterally. A. Laterobasal and retrochlear fibres. B. An internal cord which inserts along the inner side of the line of attachment of the osteofibrous sheath of phalanx I; C. The cruciform ligament of the sheath which is inserted at the outer side of the osteofibrous sheath of phalanx I.
