Abbreviations: DPL—distal phalanx length; IPJ—interphalangeal joint; DIPJ—distal interphalangeal joint; PIPJ—proximal interphalangeal joint; MCPJ—metacarpophalangeal joint; ct—cartilage thickness. The significant p level according to Bonferroni correction is 0.002. All values are given in millimeters.
