2024年8月16日 · Phalanx Fractures are common hand injuries that involve the proximal, middle or distal phalanx. Diagnosis can be confirmed with orthogonal radiographs of the involve digit. Treatment involves immobilization or surgical fixation depending on location, severity and alignment of injury.

2018年8月13日 · There is one proximal phalanx in each finger (including the thumb), which means there are five proximal phalanges in each hand, a total of ten in both. These are sometimes specifically referred to as the first (thumb), second (index finger), third (middle finger), fourth (ring finger), and fifth (little finger) proximal phalanx.

2023年4月3日 · Proximal phalanx fractures are the most common pediatric hand fracture 1. Radiographic features. The fracture is generally well seen on plain radiographs, angulation of these fractures is best seen on the lateral projection 2. Ultrasonography can be used for fractures that are difficult to see or when there are doubts. Treatment and prognosis

2023年8月8日 · Each thumb (first digit) contains a proximal and distal phalanx, while the index (second digit), long (third digit), ring (fourth digit), and small (fifth digit) fingers all contain a proximal, middle, and distal phalanx.

Introduction: Treatment of base fractures in the proximal phalanx depends on the fracture type, the degree of displacement and whether fracture reduction is stable or not. Internal fixation often leads to decreased mobility of the injured finger despite exact reduction of the fracture.

2023年11月13日 · Each hand has a total of five proximal phalanges, one in each digit. Compared to the middle and distal phalanges, they are the largest ones. The proximal phalanx of the thumb is an exception because it is shorter and more stout compared to the rest.

Methods: We reviewed the most current literature on various treatment methods of proximal phalanx fractures, focusing on the indications and outcomes of nonoperative as well as operative interventions. Results: Stable fractures can be successfully treated nonoperatively, whereas unstable injuries benefit from surgery. Regardless of the surgical ...

2024年6月28日 · The phalanges (single: phalanx) of the hands are the tubular bones of the fingers and thumb. The second to fifth fingers each contain a proximal, middle and distal phalanx whereas the thumb only contains a proximal and distal phalanx.

2020年12月13日 · Proximal Phalanx. The structure indicated is the proximal phalanx of the 5 th finger. The hand consists of three groups of bones: Carpals; Metacarpals; Phalanges; The phalanges (phalanx = singular), form the fingers/digits of the hands. The thumb consists of two phalanges: proximal phalanx and distal phalanx. The rest of the fingers consist of ...

Proximal phalanx of hand (5th) - Articulates up with metacarpal at 5th MCP, down with middle phalanx at proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP).
