The term diabetic cheiroarthropathy or limited joint mobility syndrome is used to describe joint mobility limitation of the hand associated to diabetes. It is characterized by contractures of one or more joints of the fingers, particularly affecting extension of the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints. This study has aimed to review the bibliography related to the therapeutic options and to present a clinical case with the results of the chosen option. The case of a 12-year old girl with diabetes with painless contracture of proximal interphalangeal joint of the 5th finger in both hands is presented. She was treated with kinesitherapy and orthotic braces. At 2 years of evolution, complete reduction of the right hand contracture and partial correction in the left one was achieved. Early and prolonged use of rehabilitation treatment seems to help the joint improvement.
