Swan Neck Deformity, also known as Swan Neck Finger or Swan Neck Syndrome, is a condition characterized by hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) and flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) in the fingers. Various factors, including injury, rheumatoid arthritis, or congenital predisposition can cause it. Treatment options include splinting, exercises, and in some cases, surgery to correct the deformity. Hand surgeons play a key role in managing and treating this condition, aiming to improve finger function and alleviate associated discomfort.
