What is the name of the most distal joint of the lower extremity?
The distal interphalangeal joints are the most distal joints of the lower extremities.
What joint do the proximal and distal phalanges meet at?
The proximal and distal phalanges only meet in the first digits (the thumbs and the big tues). This joint is the first interphalangeal joint.
What are the names of the parts of the index finger?
From the nail down the distal phalances, distal interphalangeal joint, the middle phalanges and then the proximal interphalangeal joints. The base of the finger is comprised of the proximal phalanges and the knuckles.
What is the joint in your fingers called?
Finger joints are condyloid joints.It is the Hinge Jointthey are called proximal interphilangeal jointsThe joint of the finger can be called the knuckle or saddle joint for the thumb.Hope that helped.hinge jointsSynovial joints .
What is the cpt code for a finger interphalangeal joint arthroplasty with a hemihamate graft?
The CPT code for a finger interphalangeal joint arthroplasty with a hemihamate graft is 26416.
What synovial joint is an interphalangeal joint?
Proximal and distal interphalangeal joints.
What is the name of the most distal joint of the lower extremity?

What muscles are used in firing a pistol?
There would be 2 muscles involved in pulling the trigger: 1 - Flexor digitorum superficialis - flexes the proximal interphalangeal joint 2 - Flexor digitorum profundus - flexes the distal interphalangeal joint
What is the interphalangeal joints?
Joint between the phalanges (interphalangeal joint) is hinge joint.
The only muscle capable of flexing the distal interphalangeal joints?
The only muscle capable of flexing the distal interphalangeal joints is the flexor digitorum profundus. This muscle originates from the ulna and interosseous membrane in the forearm and inserts on the distal phalanges of the fingers. It is responsible for flexing the distal interphalangeal joints while the flexor digitorum superficialis flexes the proximal interphalangeal joints.
What is the joint called that is between the phalanges and is furthest away from the attachment to the wrist?
The joint between the phalanges that is furthest away from the attachment to the wrist is called the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP). This joint is located between the distal phalanx and the middle phalanx in the fingers and between the distal phalanx and the proximal phalanx in the thumb. The DIP allows for flexion and extension of the fingers.
What is the name of the knuckle joint?
The interphalangeal joints in the fingers are synovial hinge joints. The thumb metacarpal is a saddle joint. The metacarpo-phalangeal joints are synovial ellipsoid joints.
What muscle flexes the distal interphalangeal joints?
The flexor digitorum profundus
Is osteoarthritis associated with hard nodules at the distal interphalangeal joints?
Yes. True
