Congenital triangular bones in the hand

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1977
From the literature we found reports of 105 patients whom we judged had a triangular deformity of one of the bones of the hand or foot. We found 49 patients of our own with 84 delta-shaped phalanges limited strictly to the hand. This represents an incidence of 3.5% of our congenital abnormalities of the upper extremity. The deformity is associated with

Classification of hand bones for bone age assessment

Proceedings of Third International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems, 2002
This paper presents a new approach to classifying bones of the hand-wrist images into pediatric stages of maturity using point distribution models (PDM). The method consists of two phases: the training phase and the classification phase. During training, examples of bones from each class are collected so that the allowable shape deformations for each ...

Fractures of the Tubular Bones of the Hand

Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2007
Age related differences in demographics, morphology, treatment and outcome were investigated in 701 fractures of the metacarpals or phalanges, including fracture-dislocations, in 655 patients. Fractures mainly due to sport occurred in 184 children, usually after 10 years of age. The base of the proximal phalanx was especially vulnerable.

Chondrosarcoma of the bones of the hand

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 1991
Implantation of chondrosarcoma in the bones of the hands is an infrequent occurrence. We present two cases in which the fifth metacarpal and the proximal phalanx of the index finger, respectively, were affected in two patients aged 47 and 67 years, who, without previous known lesions, came to consultation on the appearance of pain and progressive local

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Hand

Hand Clinics, 1987
Diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst in the hands is confused by rarity (2%) and overlapping characteristics of other lesions, especially benign osteoblastoma and giant-cell tumor. Pseudosinusoidal vascular channels create interfaces between liquid blood (maintained by fibrolysin) and connective tissue cells. The role of trauma is inexplicable.

Fractures of the bones of the hand

The American Journal of Surgery, 1940
Abstract A summary of the metacarpal and phalangeal deformities with general principles of management is illustrated in Figure 8. It is evident from these illustrations that the principle of aligning the mobile distal fragment with the less mobile proximal fragment is applicable to all fractures of the bones of the hand.
