The middle knuckle on a phalange is called the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP joint). This joint connects the proximal phalanx to the middle phalanx in the fingers and toes. It allows for bending and straightening of the digits, playing a crucial role in hand mobility and function.

What is the medical name for knuckle?
I have previously read that the medical name for "knuckle" is the interphalangeal joint, but this just refers to the joints of any of the three bones of the fingers (phalanges), being the proximal, medial, and distal phalanges. Therefore, the knuckle is the "proximal condyle of the phalanges". This refers to where the metacarpals (the palm bones) meet the fingers (phalanges). I am not a medical professional, but due to in-depth investigation as per a past research project, I know virtually every "medical" name (and the many, many synonyms) for features of superficial androtomy (human anatomy), and I've not yet come across a specific one for knuckles.
What are the bones in your toes called?
They are called phalanges. Phalanges are in the fingers too.
