Meanings of distal phalanx in English

The arc of rotation allowed the graft to reach the distal phalanx in 80% of the cases.

No other tendon has this same effect on the distal phalanx and the condition is correctly diagnosed without difficulty.

With hyperplasia of lamina, at the anterior portion of the distal phalanx, there results a thick "white line."

Rotation of the distal phalanx necessitates a descent of its apical portion and there occurs a "dropped sole."

Avulsions of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon may involve tendon retraction into the palm and fractures of the distal phalanx.

Conclusion: The eponychial flap is a simple and safe technique that can restore the functional and aesthetic fingertip in selected distal phalanx amputations.
