According to Wiki, the Phalanx is a long bone
The phalanx bone is the bone found in fingers and toes, and its length varies depending on the individual and the specific phalanx. Generally, the phalanx bones in the fingers are longer than those in the toes.
A distal phalanx is the finger bone or toe bone farthest toward the tip of the digit. They are numbered one to five and left to right to distinguish them.
The fourth metacarpal bone articulates with the fourth proximal phalanx in the hand.
Phalanx is the singular term for the phalanges (bones of the fingers and toes) so there would only ever be one phalanx. The middle finger is made up of three phalanges as are all the other fingers and toes except for the thumbs and big toes which only have two.
Each phalanx that articulates with the distal end of a metacarpal is a proximal phalanx. These phalanges are numbered one through five to distinguish them.
Phalanx-- Any of the digital bones of the hand or foot.

long bone
The phalanx is a bone in the finger or toe. The plural form of the word is phalanges or phalanxes.
A phalanx is a toe bone. Thus a fractured proximal phalanx is a broken toe.
A distal phalanx is the finger bone or toe bone farthest toward the tip of the digit. They are numbered one to five and left to right to distinguish them.
It is technically a long bone, has head, base and diaphysis. It is small, but is technically a long bone.
The scientific name for finger bone is phalanx bones.
Yes there is. The bones in the palm of your hand are known as the metacarpals. The next bone runs from the metacarpals to the first knuckle. This bone is known as th proximal phalanx and is joined to the metacarpals by the metacarpophalangeal joint. The bone between the first knuckle and the second knuckle is known as the middle phalanx, and the bone from the seconf knuckle to the tip of your finger is known as the distal phalanx.
Medial in terms of phalanges means the middle bone of the second through fourth fingers. The bone at the end is the distal phalanx, and the one closest to the palm is the proximal phalanx.
The fourth metacarpal bone articulates with the fourth proximal phalanx in the hand.
It is known as the thumb basal joint, also known as the carpometacarpal joint. It is a special saddle-shaped joint that is formed by the small wrist bone and the first of the three bones in the thumb.
