A 19-year-old man was evaluated due to pain in his left index finger. Medical history yielded a roller press injury to his left hand three weeks previously. Physical examination revealed pain with the palpation and motions of the second proximal phalanx, swelling and normal range of motion. Plain radiographs were not remarkable (fig 1A,B). Longitudinal and axial ultrasound (US) images clearly d...

The current study included the anatomical structure of metatarsal bone in sheep terms traditional structural description bone, as it was found that fore and hind limbs adult had no visible differences between animals, especially ruminants. metacarpal \tarsal No. 3 cylindrical shape, with presence bones 2 4 declines, articulated from proximal end whereas distal part fetlock joint first phalanx b...

Recurrent dislocation is not common in small joints. This report presents a recurrent dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the ring finger in a 23-years-old man. Recurrent dislocation was addressed successfully by repairing the avulsed volar plate to the base of the middle phalanx, followed by 6 weeks of splint immobilization.

Stress fractures of the toes are rare. Most reported fractures of the proximal phalanx of the great toe have been associated with halux valgus deformity. Two cases are presented that illustrate several unique features of this rare injury which have not been reported before. One of the cases went on to non-union, requiring bone grafting and internal fixation.

The objective of the present study was to determine clinical and arthroscopic characteristics associated with dorsoproximal proximal phalanx (P1) fragments in Warmblood horses, as well as to examine their histopathological appearance. One hundred sixty-eight fragments were removed from 150 fetlocks of 117 Warmblood horses. Details of signalment and results of clinical examination were collected...

The arterial system of fingers is anatomically well described, and so, usually no difficulties arise during its preparation and the making of anastomoses in replantation surgery. Difficulties may occur, however, during manipulation in the dorsal vascular bed of fingers, known only as a random venous network. There are minimal references to its existence and the location of its valvular apparatu...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY To improve understanding of the internal structure of the proximal phalanx (P1), response of the bone to load and possible relation to the pathogenesis of fractures in P1. OBJECTIVES To model the P1 and replicate the loads experienced by the bone in stance, walk, trot and gallop using finite element analysis. METHODS The geometry of the P1 was captured using mic...
