Asymptomatic symmetrical hyperphalangism of the fingers accompanied by foot anomalies is very rare. We present a 21-year-old man with anomalies in both hands and feet. He had short little, index, and middle fingers, long ring fingers, and clinodactyly of the little finger. He also had symmetrical brachydactyly of both feet. There were no other skeletal anomalies and his family members were norm...

Objective The aim of this study was to measure the ratio of bone cortex (C) to bone diameter (D), (C/D) in radius/tibia, metacarpus /metatarsus and proximal phalanges in fore and hindlimbs to be used as a diagnostic guide in metabolic and nutritional diseases in Minature Donkey. DesignExperimental study AnimalsEight adult Minature donkeys. ProceduresLateromedial, dorsopalmar and dorsoplantar ra...

Epidermoid cysts of the finger phalanx are rare pseudotumours. They are benign lesions with a satisfactory outcome after excision. We describe a case of an epidermoid cyst in the distal phalanx of the ring finger. It was treated successfully and the patient had excellent functional results and radiological healing at one-year follow-up.

DESCRIPTION A 61 year-old man was referred for management of a distal dorsal squamous cell carcinoma of the thumb with involved distal phalangeal periosteum. The dorsal cortex of the distal phalanx and all nail-producing and hyponychial tissues were excised and sent for pathology. No tumor was found; thus, the remaining volar distal phalanx was conserved.

Mallet hallux injury typically occurs due to trauma from forced hyperflexion. The is commonly an avulsion fracture of the extensor hallucis longus tendon at distal end great toe, but can also rupture around its insertion into first phalanx. It rare for both types occur simultaneously. A mallet toe occurring in rarely reported, and there no established standard treatment method. Here, we present...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Osseous resorption of the flexor surface of the distal phalanx of the horse has been identified previously using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging; however, little is known about the prevalence and characteristics of this lesion. OBJECTIVES To establish the MR prevalence of resorptive lesions in the flexor surface of the distal phalanx and identify concurrent lesion...

PURPOSE Vascularized bone transplants resist infection and allow rapid healing but keeping small bony segments vascularized, as needed for a finger defect, is a challenge. The purpose of this article is to present a cohort of patients with traumatic intercalated compound bony defects in the fingers that were reconstructed by a vascularized toe phalanx (or part of a phalanx) in a single stage. ...
