phalangeal

As with the fingers, the toes are also called the digits, phalanges, and phalangeal area.

Phalangeal head resection (arthroplasty), in which the surgeon removes part of the toe bone.

Surgeons often use phalangeal head resection to correct hammer, claw, and mallet toes.

Phalangeal articulations of foot may refer to:

The pedal phalangeal formula, counting the number of phalanges for each digit starting from the innermost, was 2-3-4-5-1.

A part of one of the affected toe bones, the phalangeal head, is removed so that the toe can lie flat.

Wide articular surfaces should be narrowed and phalangeal wedge osteotomies may be required to provide an axial alignment.

When metatarsal or phalangeal fractures do occur, they may be difficult to recognize because many parts of a growing child's bone do not show up well on x-rays.

The phalangeal joints of the index finger, however, offer some independence to its finger, due to the arrangement of its flexor and extension tendons.

The articulations are: interphalangeal articulations between phalangeal bones, and metacarpophalangeal joints connecting the phalanges to the metacarpal bones.

The third finger has only two phalangeal bones, unlike non - avian dinosaurs and Confuciusornis, and more like Enantiornithes and more advanced birds.

Deiter's Cells (also called phalangeal cells) contain both micro-filaments and micro-tubules which run from the Basilar membrane to the reticular membrane of the inner ear.

The number of phalanges in animals is often expressed as a "phalangeal formula" that indicates the numbers of phalanges in digits, beginning from the innermost (medial or proximal).

The RM is composed of the phalangeal extensions of the outer hair cells interspaced with extensions coming from the outer phalangeal cells.

For example, several phalangeal conditions may be traced to the type of foot box used in a shoe, and a change of a shoe or shoe box may be sufficient to treat the condition.

If you have severe pain in a toe that interferes with your daily activities, and nonsurgical treatments such as roomier footwear, exercises, and pain relief medicine have not helped, you and your doctor may choose to try a phalangeal head resection.

Examples of paleolithic objects which are considered unambiguously musical are bone flutes or pipes; paleolithic finds which are open to interpretation are pierced phalanges (usually interpreted as "phalangeal whistles"), objects interpreted as Bullroarers, and rasps.
