Metacarpal

The most frequently affected parts of the hand associated with Dupuytren's contracture are the joints called the Metacarpal Phalangeal Joint, or MP joint, which is the joint closest to the palm of the hand and the Proximal Intra-Phalangeal Joint, or the PIP joint, which is the middle joint in the finger.

Metacarpal I is short and robust, with a proximodistal length 0.77 times the length of metacarpal II and a midshaft width nearly twice that of metacarpal II (1.18 proximal width/length ratio).
