Disruption of the VP is insufficient to significantly alter PIP joint congruity. While sectioning of both the VP and CLs resulted in a statistically significant change in joint congruity, mean JLCA demonstrated changes of minor clinical significance. The osseous anatomy of the phalanges imparts inherent stability that maintains a congruent joint despite loss of the soft tissue stabilizers.
