Which department should you visit for finger joint issues?

When seeking medical attention for finger joint problems, the choice of department should be based on specific symptoms and potential causes. 1. Orthopedics: If symptoms such as pain, limited movement, fractures, strain, or inflammation and infection occur in the finger joints, orthopedic consultation is recommended. Orthopedic doctors can identify the location and nature of the lesion through X-rays, MRI, and other examinations, and formulate corresponding treatment plans. 2. Rheumatology and Immunology: If finger joint issues are caused by rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or other rheumatic and immunological conditions, consultation in rheumatology and immunology is advised. Doctors will perform diagnostic tests including blood analysis and joint ultrasound. 3. Endocrinology: If finger joint pain is associated with gout and accompanied by swelling, endocrinology consultation for uric acid testing may be appropriate.
