Understanding Heberden's Nodes | Aspire Academy PLAB2

Heberden's nodes, which are bony growths that can develop on the finger joints near the tips of the fingers. These growths can be hard and may make it difficult to move the fingers or grasp objects. They are typically caused by the wearing down of cartilage in the joints, which can lead to the growth of bony nodules. While they are more common in older adults, Heberden's nodes can affect people of any age. Treatment may include pain management, physical therapy, and surgery in severe cases. • 💾 Save this post and 🔔 turn on post notification • Follow us for all PLAB2 updates @aspire2education Facebook Page:   / aspire2plab   Instagram:  / aspire2education   Linkedin:   / aspire2plab   #GotAspirEd #plab #plab1 #plab2 #plab1keys #medicos #meded #neet #next #medicine #gmcuk #plab2training #nurses #aspire2plab #medicalstudent #futuredoctor #juniordoctor #medicos #Heberdensnodes #fingerjoints #osteoarthritis #handpain #jointpain #bonygrowth #arthritis #chronicpain #painmanagement #physicaltherapy #surgery #handtherapy
