The article describes a distal phalanx of the left (?) hand of Homo, found in Denisova Cave in 2011. In terms of length, width of apical tuft, and relative flattening, it resembles Neanderthal phalanges, differing in a somewhat greater transversal hypertrophy of the shaft. This trait may ...

Radiographic changes of the distal phalanx tuft of the hands in patients without joint disease: a systematic literature reviewYojhan IzquierdoEnrique CalvoLuisa CastañedaSandra GOmez
The distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint and bone (tuft of terminal phalanx) were evaluated. A scoring method was performed on the patients with nail involvement. There was no difference in DIP joint involvement in patients with or without finger- and toenail involvement ( p =0.085 and p =...
The narrowest diameter of the medullary canal was measured on the axial CT and lateral hand radiograph at the transition between the tuft and the distal phalanx shaft. The mean narrowest diameters on plain radiographs for the index, middle, ring, and little fingers were 1.4 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.4...
Analysis involves length-width ratios, regressions of distal phalanx tuft width on base width and of metacarpal head width on length, and pattern profiles based on Z-scores with reference to the Larsen Bay sample. Larsen Bay individuals are robust, while Terry blacks, Egyptians, and Chinese-...
If it is assumed that it possessed the pollical phalangeal length proportions of an early modern human, it would exhibit modest base and tuft breadths. However, given Late Pleistocene archaic-modern contrasts in relative pollical phalanx lengths, the isolated nature of the phalanx prevents secure ...
Summary Fracture of the shaft of the distal phalanx is less common than more distalfractures involving the tuft: non-union in such a fracture is even more unusual. A case is described in which troublesome non-union of the shaft of the distal phalanx of the middle finger was successfully ...
Range of motionTime to unionDistal Phalanx (DP) fractures are the most common hand injuries. Bone fixation associated with soft tissue reconstruction, is often required to ensure more effective outcomes. The aim of the present study is to compare functional outcomes of DP fractures surgically ...
Conclusions Complications of distal phalanx fractures in children are frequent. The incidence varies by fracture type, the highest of which are for Salter-Harris IV, Seymour, and mallet fractures. Special care needs to be taken to reduce the complication rates of these common fractures. Type of ...
