What is the distal phalanica?

Distal phalanx is the bone at the end of the fingers and legs. Distal phalanxes shape the nails of the human hand or legs, and are therefore also called Ungla Falanges. It is not unusual that they are called terminal phalanxes either with reference to the bones site at the end of the digits. The bones are shaped to support the finger. In humans, distal phalanhangana is usually more flattering and wider bones compared to other mammals. The surface of the distal phalanx on the finger is in the shape of a horseshoe so that it can support meat and vulnerable parts. Human fingers also contain apical tufts, which are wide openings that support the nail and finger.

Distal phalanx tip is usually very similar to the finger aside from several small differences. First, the distal phalanx of the tip is smaller than the phalanx of the finger. Also, the fingers are at the top of flattened with a larger end to fit and support the nail. They also have a large base that allows the bones to be properly connected to the second set.

Many mammals have similar distal phalanx, although there are a large number of variations. For example, apical tufts in other mammals may vary in size. This is considered to be an evolutionary response to the need for tool production. However, the human distal phalanx is always greater than the phalanx of any other mammal.

Due to the close proximity of the distal phalanx to the end of the finger is likely to be injured. For example, the distal fractures of Falang are very common and are often caused by finger crushing. In general, a fracture on the distal phalanx is not required by surgical intervention, even if it depends on the severity of the injury. Immobilization of Falanga for several weeks usually helps relieve pain and allow for faster healing, even if it is not always necessary.

Another potential injury of the Falang terminal is a mallet, nail injury and a dressing finger. The treatment of these injuries depends on the exact type and the severity of the problem. Immobilization is often used for a number of different types of injuries,Because this allows the joint more time to heal.
