Knuckle pads are a benign condition that usually affects one or more of your fingers or toes. They are rarely painful, but they can cause unwanted changes to the appearance of your hands or feet. Although there is no guaranteed cure, treatment may help shrink or get rid of knuckle pads.

Knuckle pads are well-defined, smooth, firm thickenings that can be flat or more obvious and dome-shaped. They generally do not cause any symptoms but can be tender or painful. How are knuckle pads diagnosed?

Knuckle pads are skin lesions over the finger joints on the back surface of the hand. These lesions are pimples (papules), lumps (nodules) or patches (plaques) and are benign (non-cancerous). Knuckle pads are also asymptomatic meaning that there is no pain, itching or other symptoms present.

Knuckle pads are benign subcutaneous fibrotic nodules that are seen in the finger joints and/or the extensor area of the foot.

2019年3月13日 · Knuckle pads (KPs) are benign, usually asymptomatic growths on the extensor surfaces of the hands, mostly located over the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints, and to a lesser degree the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints.

Knuckle pads also called Garrod pads, holoderma, keratosis supracapitularis, pulvinus and subcutaneous fibroma, are benign well-defined thickening, smooth, firm papules, nodules, or plaques over a finger joint.

Knuckle pads are common circumscribed thickenings overlying the finger joints. Most lesions occur over the proximal interphalangeal rather than the metacarpophalangeal joints. Knuckle pads are classified as a form of fibromatosis along with Dupuytren's contracture (palmar fibromatosis).

2020年1月7日 · Knuckle Pads are well-defined, round, plaque-like fibrous thickenings that develop on the extensor aspects of the proximal interphalangeal joints of the toes and fingers to include the thumbs. They may develop at any age and grow to about 10-15 mm in diameter over a few weeks or months and are permanent.

Knuckle pads are benign subcutaneous and usually hyperkeratotic fibromas for which no specific treatments exist. Unspecific treatments are, most of the time, ineffective and a wait-and-see policy is often recommended to patients.

2024年12月29日 · Patients with Dupuytren are more (4 x) likely to develop knuckle pads. Knuckle pads, also called Garrod’s pads or dorsal pads, are firm nodules or plaques (typically 0.5-3 cm diameter) located on the middle (PIP) or main (MCP) finger joints (see emedicine_knuckle_pads). Patients with knuckle pads often have a history of repetitive trauma ...
