An unusual Salter-Harris Type 1 fracture variant of the distal phalanx of the index finger is described. The epiphysis was dislocated, sitting dorsally over the middle phalanx head with the articular surface facing dorsal. Reduction could only be achieved through an open procedure. The reduction was stable without supplemental fixation.

abstract a solitary plasmacytoma of bone occurs in approximately 2-5% of patients with myeloma. the lesion mostly found in the axial skeleton and have infrequently been reported to arise in the hand, and usually occur in the distal phalanges. we report the interesting case of a 75-year-old man who developed a solitary lytic lesion of the thumb proximal phalanx. this lesion was explored through ...

he Applied Physics Laboratory, in its role as Technical Direction Agent for the Phalanx close-in weapon system radar, designed and operates a coherent data collector to analyze radar system performance. This article presents examples of how coherent data analysis has helped program development efforts and provided insights into the performance of the Phalanx search radar. The topics discussed i...

Giant Cell Reparative Granuloma (GCRG) of phalanx is uncommon. It is a benign osteolytic lesion but can be locally aggressive. GCRG has certain radiology and histological features that are similar to other giant cell lesions of the bone. We present a case report of a young patient with giant cell reparative granuloma of proximal phalanx of left third toe. The bone lesion was successfully treate...

The design of a novel linkage three-phalanx finger was proposed in this paper. The finger is based on the concept of COSA (coupling and self-adaptation) and also two-phalanx COSA finger. As a combination of rigid coupled finger and self-adaptive under-actuated finger, the COSA finger has comprehensive grasping ability with human-like motion. Available topology designs were discussed in this pap...

Fingertip injury commonly results in avulsion of the nail bed. For large area defects of the nail bed with distal phalanx exposure, methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects are scarcely mentioned in the literature.From May 2014 to January 2016, 6 patients with large area defects of the nail bed with distal phalanx exposure were enrolled. A new surgical method, cross finger fascial flap...

A 2-day-old female Warmblood foal (70 kg) presented with a closed, displaced Salter-Harris type-II fracture of the proximal physis left hind first phalanx. The was repaired four 4.5 mm cortical screws and wire in figure-of-8 pattern applied on lateral medial aspect phalanx, respectively. screw additionally inserted lag-fashion to engage metaphyseal spike. Three days postoperatively, displacemen...

The digit tips of children and rodents are known to regenerate following amputation. The skeletal structure that regenerates is the distal region of the terminal phalangeal bone that is associated with the nail organ. The terminal phalanx forms late in gestation by endochondral ossification and continues to elongate until sexual maturity (8 weeks of age). Postnatal elongation at its distal end ...

Foot is an unusual site for chondrosarcoma and involvement of phalanges is extremely rare. We report a case of grade 2 chondrosarcoma of proximal phalanx resulting in its fracture along with transarticular extension to the middle phalanx of the 2(nd) toe of right foot in a 62 year old female. The patient presented with 1 and (1/2) year history of pain and swelling in right 2(nd) toe. X-ray show...
