Subperiosteal bone resorption of the distal phalanges means that the bone at the ends of the fingers is disappearing. It's typically a sign of hyperparathyroidism.
Phalanges are distal to the the ulna bone. By the way the ulna bone does not participate in formation of the wrist joint.
Distal Phalanges
distal phalanges.
Yes human fingers do have bones, there are three in each finger. One of each of these in each finger starting at the tip. distal phalanges, intermediate phalanges, proximal phalanges But fish fingers should be bone free.
distal phalanges (bones in the fingers & toes)
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 bones that make up your fingers (and toes) are called phalanges.
The scientific name for toes is phalanges. Phalange is also the scientific name for finger. Phalanges are composed of more than just one bone. There are distal, medial and proximal portions of the phalanges.

The radius and ulna are proximal to the carpal bones. The carpals are distal to the radius and ulna.
Phalanges are bones found in the fingers and toes of vertebrates, including humans. Each finger has three phalanges (distal, middle, and proximal), and the thumb has two phalanges (distal and proximal).
The smallest bone in the body is in your ear and is called the stirrup bone (stapes).
