Some publications propose shortening the nail bed to the end of the bony support if it continues past the limit of the severed distal phalanx in order to prevent deformity. [4] Treatments intended to preserve length, such as replantation or flap reconstruction, should be used if the damage to the bone and soft tissue beneath the nail bed is too ...
Linburg–Comstock variation and syndrome may result from phylogenetic differences between human and non-human primates.Phylogenetically, the flexor pollicis longus and the flexor digitorum profundus both originate from a common mesodermal mass. [6]
It involves fixed flexion deformity of the proximal interphalangeal joints. Camptodactyly can be caused by a genetic disorder. In that case, it is an autosomal dominant trait that is known for its incomplete genetic expressivity. This means that when a person has the genes for it, the condition may appear in both hands, one, or neither.

Degree of bulging of the femoral head-neck junction: In normal conditions there is a symmetric concave contour at the junction of the femoral head and neck. Loss of this concavity or bone bulging may lead to cam type impingement. The degree of this deformity can be measured by the alpha angle.
A Jersey finger is a traumatic rupture of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon at its point of attachment to the distal phalanx. [4] This injury often occurs in American football when a player grabs another player's jersey with the tips of one or more fingers while that player is pulling or running away. [5]

Temporary hemiepiphysiodesis is widely used to treat angular or coronal plane deformities around the knee in children i.e. deformities occurring in the medial/lateral plane as genu varum/ genu valgum. Additionally, it has been used to treat sagittal plane deformities i.e. deformities arising the anterior/posterior plane.
