Where is the distal region of the big toe?
The latinate name for the big toe is the Hallucis(Hal-oo-shis), or, more commonly when speaking of one big toe, the hallux. The bones within it are rather unexciting, there are only three. The first is the first metacarpal bone. Each toe has a metatarsal and these are what make up most of the length of your feet. They are not very visible separately in an intact toe as they are all bound under the same skin.The other two bones in each toe are called the phalangesas as collection. These bones are in the part that is visibly a separate toe. The one closest to the foot, joining directly to the metacarpal is the proximal phalanx. Then the distal phalanx is the next one. In the other toes there is a medial (middle) phalanx, between the proximal and distal phalanges. That is the traditional nomenclature.However, this whole issue was humorously resolved back in 1991 by a med student who offered formal Latinate names for every toe based on the "Little Piggy" rhyme. John Phillips, then a fourth-year med student at Yale, published these in a letter to the NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE published February 14, 1991. The "p." stands for "porcellus."- porcellus fori (big toe), translation: little pig at market- p. domi (second toe); translation: baby pig at home- p. carnivorus (third toe), translation: meat-eating piglet- p. nonvoratus (fourth digit) translation: small pig that has not eaten- p. plorans domum (smallest toe) translation: piggy crying all the way homeThe text of the 18th-century rhyme, which parents still use when playing with their little children's toes, starting by wiggling the hallux and then each smaller toe in turn:This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. This little piggy had roast beef, This little piggy had none. And this little piggy cried "Wee! Wee! Wee!" all the way home.See the whole article re Phillips' new names at the Little Piggy link below.
