2025年2月4日 · Phalanx Fractures are common hand injuries that involve the proximal, middle or distal phalanx. Diagnosis can be confirmed with orthogonal radiographs of the involve digit. Treatment involves immobilization or surgical fixation depending on location, severity and alignment of injury.

2016年9月24日 · The first phalange (P1) is called the proximal phalange, the second one (P2) middle phalange, and the third one (P3) distal phalange. These long bones also have a convex back side and a concave palm side.

Distal Phalanx (P3) Fracture of the Fingers. The distal phalanx is most exposed and therefore more vulnerable to fracture than other bones of the hand, especially P3 of the long finger.

Fractures of the finger usually present with localised swelling, bruising, tenderness, with or without deformity. Significant angulation or displacement of fingers is sometimes mistaken for dislocation clinically. There may be ‘scissoring’ of the fingers if there is a rotational deformity present.

A Patient's Guide to Adult Finger Fractures. Anatomy. The four fingers of the hand each have three bones called phalanges: proximal, middle and distal. Each phalanx is a short tubular bone. The proximal phalanx is the longest and the distal phalax is the shortest.

Tuft’s finger fracture (break) of the "tuft," is the distal tip of the last bone in the finger. It is also known as “distal phalanx fracture” or “P3 fracture” and is the most common fracture of the hand. The middle finger is most vulnerable to fracture simply because of its length compared with adjacent fingers.

2020年5月25日 · The P3 tuft fractures, and the middle phalanx (P2) base fractures each accounted for 25% of fracture types. A total of 74% of fractures were treated conservatively, and 26% required surgery, with Kirschner wire(s) (37%) as the preferred surgical treatment.

2019年3月27日 · The skeleton of the pulp, formed by the distal phalanx (or P3), has morphologic characteristics that are only present in humans and do not exist in primates. The diaphyseal segment has a palmar concavity that corresponds to the convexity of the soft pulp tissue.

‘Rugger jersey finger’ Examination points: Loss of normal cadence of hand Fresh ones will be bruised and swollen Test systematically Initial Management: Xray whole finger

2023年2月3日 · Fractures of the distal phalanx (P3) are exceedingly common secondary to axial load or crush-type injuries. 16 Although these are often highly comminuted, these fractures are inherently stable secondary to the numerous fibrous septae of the surrounding soft tissue. They often occur with subungual hematomas or nail bed injuries, and the ...
