Circumferential little finger nailplate

چکیده
A Thoma, I Alexopoulou. Circumferential little finger nailplate. Can J Plast Surg 1995;3(3):161-162. This is a case report of a seven-year-old female who presented with a congenital anomaly of the little finger in which the nailplate was circumferentially covering the tip of the distal phalanx. There was a well-developed eponychial fold on the palmar aspect of the digit. This rare congenital `clam nail deformity' may be the result of an insult to the zone of polarizing activity occurring late in the embryological development.

The clinical significance of the palmaris longus tendon and functional superficial flexor of the little finger in the pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome
Abstract Background: The pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with increased intracarpal canal pressure. Recently, palmaris longus has been introduced as an independent risk factor for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with the presence of palmaris longus tendon and function...

Three million of these injuries involved one or more fingers, of which 1.3 million (44%) were diagnosed as finger lacerations.[1] To minimize the morbidity associated with these injuries, digital tourniquets are necessary to provid...
متن کاملWrist circumduction reduced by finger constraints.
PURPOSE Assessment of wrist motion is important in diagnosing and treating motion impairment after injuries to the wrist. Little is known of how finger posture influences the movement of the wrist. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of finger constraints on the maximum circumduction movement of the wrist. METHODS Fifteen male right-handed subjects performed maximal circumfere...
متن کاملCongenital Bilateral Multiple Trigger Fingers in A 5-Year-Old Child
Paediatric bilateral multiple trigger fingers are extremely rare. The underlying etiopathogenesis and hence the surgical principles of management of trigger finger in children are different from those of pediatric trigger thumb and adult trigger finger. In this paper, we report the case of a 5 year old girl with congenital trigger digits involving the middle, ring and little fingers of both han...
