The digital annular pulleys (DAP) of the hand are specialised fibrous structures that stabilise the flexor tendons. We recently demonstrated that the insertions of the DAP are anatomical entheses, ...

The finger was tender volarly over the proximal phalanx and in the palm proximally to the A-1 pulley, where a mass was palpable. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a rupture of the FDS tendon ...

Complete blood counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, c reactive protein, and serology were found to be normal. A plain radiograph revealed an expansile lytic lesion with pathological fracture which ...

Grounding of kinesthetic feedback against a user's hand can increase the portability and wearability of a haptic device. However, the effects of different hand-grounding locations on haptic perception ...

Case Report We report three cases of proximal phalanx fracture: two transverse fractures at the base of the phalanx and one simple transverse shaft fracture. All patients were right-handed, and one ...

Sochan fractured the proximal phalanx running into a screen near the Clippers bench late in the second quarter. He exited the game with 3:31 remaining in the first half and did not return.

Metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP): Also called the knuckle, this is where the proximal phalanx in each finger meets an adjacent hand bone (metacarpal bones). Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP): This ...

You may not always be sure the finger is broken and try to bend it. If it's broken, doing so will usually be painful. Don't be fooled if you can still move the finger. In some cases, there may ...

The bead is about 7 millimeters in length, and its internal diameter averages 1.6 millimeters. The research team considered the possibility that the bead could have been the result of carnivore ...

Soft tissue defects over the dorsal finger are common and may result from trauma, burns, or surgical management of infections and tumors. We present a case where a bilobed flap was used for the ...

A break in the “neck,” or the topmost part of a metacarpal bone, is common. That being said, a broken knuckle can also affect the metacarpal head and the base of the proximal phalanx.
