About the condition

Understanding Finger Arthritis

Arthritis is a general term for joint inflammation. In the fingers, it can manifest as several types — the most common being:

Osteoarthritis (OA)

The “wear and tear” type, where the cartilage cushioning the joint breaks down over time.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

An autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the joints.

Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)

A form of inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis.
