The A3 & A4 Pulleys: Small Structures, Big Infl...
The A3 and A4 pulleys are small but essential stabilizers in the finger. A3 controls tendon alignment at the PIP joint, and A4 stabilizes the fingertip joint. They rarely rupture...

The A2 Pulley: Function, Stress Points & Why Cl...
The A2 pulley keeps your flexor tendons close to the bone. It takes the highest stress in crimping, is sensitive to angle drift, and fails when load increases exceed structural...

Why PIP & DIP Joint Angles Matter (Joint Mechan...
PIP and DIP joints control the shape of the finger and therefore the path of force. Angle instability, not load, is the main cause of pulley stress and tendon overload...

How Load Travels Through the Finger (Force Line...
The force line is the path load takes from muscle to bone. Joint angles, hold size, and pulley direction determine how force is distributed. Sharp angles overload structures; smooth angles...
