Each hunk had a sliver of nail tagging one end, a distalphalange partially visible at the other.
2
No claws, no distalphalanges, no fur.
3
Each bone was aligned with anatomical precision, right down to the distalphalanges of the hands and feet.
4
"And the distalphalange from the right third digit."
5
We report a 21-year-old patient with speech problems, autistic traits, dysmorphic facial features, broad thumbs with short distalphalanges and a pancreatic gastrinoma.
1
The arc of rotation allowed the graft to reach the distalphalanx in 80% of the cases.
2
No other tendon has this same effect on the distalphalanx and the condition is correctly diagnosed without difficulty.
3
With hyperplasia of lamina, at the anterior portion of the distalphalanx, there results a thick "white line."
4
Rotation of the distalphalanx necessitates a descent of its apical portion and there occurs a "dropped sole."
5
Avulsions of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon may involve tendon retraction into the palm and fractures of the distalphalanx.
6
Conclusion: The eponychial flap is a simple and safe technique that can restore the functional and aesthetic fingertip in selected distalphalanx amputations.
