Disruption of the finger’s extensor apparatus at its terminal portion, causing inability to extend distal interphalangeal joint (abbreviation: DIP) and dropping of the distal phalanx, results with well known „mallet finger” deformity. This deformity can be caused by simple rupture of extensor apparatus, or avulsion fracture of the dorsal rim of the articular surface of distal phalanx. Sudden, f...

a 3-year-old holstein-friesian cow was evaluated because of sudden onset of right hind limb lameness and pain with fetlock swelling for 2 days. based on the history, clinical index scores and computed radiographic examinations, the case was accurately diagnosed to be a severely comminuted fracture of the proximal phalanx. this cow was assigned for conservative treatment with external coaptation...

avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus (fdp) with concomitant fracture of the distal phalanx dorsal base is uncommon. simultaneous avulsion fractures of the insertion of this tendon associated with rupture of the tendon from the bony fragment and combination with dorsal base fracture is very rare and also complicated. a 36- year- old man fell and injured his right little finger. fdp ...

Introduction The DIP Argo hemiprosthesis (ADIP) was designed in 2012 with the idea of replacing the destroyed / arthritic head of the middle phalanx (P2) and was implanted in 2013 for the first time.Basically the idea was to achieve coverage of P2 as opposed to P3 (distal phalanx), because the last phalanx of the digit is so thin, and the joint surface often so destroyed that the fixation of th...

Purpose Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and resonance frequency analyses (RFA) are promising methods to assess the stability of dental implants. The aim this in vivo preclinical study is compare results obtained with these two techniques bone-implant contact (BIC) ratio, which gold standard implant stability.

Triphalangeal thumb is characterized by the interposition of an extra-phalanx between two normal ones. In this article the authors present the case of a 24-year-old man with bilateral triphalangeal thumb of opposable type, without any other associated anomaly or genetic syndrome. The patient had triangular delta extra-phalanxes that caused ulnar deviation of both thumbs. Surgical procedure for ...

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...

Five hundred adults aged between 18-35 years were used for the study. The aim of this study was to provide a reference document for Nigerians on the distribution of phalangeal hair using a sample population of Yorubas resident in Ilorin and to assess the effect of job type, age and sex hair distribution. With the help of a hand lens, the pattern and frequency of hair distribution on the proxima...
