The width of the index finger at the proximal interphalangeal joint.

IndexFingerWidthPip

How to measure

Application

Used in ring and finger splint sizing at the knuckle, and medical joint assessment of the index finger.

Posture

Hand flat, palm facing downward, finger straight and relaxed.

Landmark

Measured across the PIP joint — the middle knuckle of the index finger. Count from the base: base knuckle (MCP), then middle knuckle (PIP).

Tool

Digital caliper.

Common mistake

Measuring at the base knuckle (MCP) or fingertip rather than the middle joint gives an inaccurate result.
