Abstract:
We present the case of a 60-year-old diabetic man who developed neuropathic arthropathy in the distal interphalangeal joint of the small finger. Neuropathic arthropathy is uncommon in the upper extremity, and only 2 cases of this condition occurring in the joints of the hand have been reported. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options are discussed.
