Thumb
The first digit on the radial side of the hand which in humans lies opposite the other four.
Carpometacarpal Joints
The articulations between the CARPAL BONES and the METACARPAL BONES.
Fingers
Four or five slender jointed digits in humans and primates, attached to each HAND.
Trigger Finger Disorder
A painful disability in the hand affecting the finger or thumb. It is caused by mechanical impingement of the digital flexor tendons as they pass through a narrowed retinacular pulley at the level of the metacarpal head. Thickening of the sheath and fibrocartilaginous metaplasia can occur, and nodules can form. (From Green's Operative Hand Surgery, 5th ed, p2137-58).
Finger Joint
Hand Deformities, Congenital
Alterations or deviations from normal shape or size which result in a disfigurement of the hand occurring at or before birth.
Finger Injuries
General or unspecified injuries involving the fingers.
Polydactyly
A congenital anomaly of the hand or foot, marked by the presence of supernumerary digits.
Rheumatic Nodule
Hand
The distal part of the arm beyond the wrist in humans and primates, that includes the palm, fingers, and thumb.
Splints
Metacarpal Bones
The five cylindrical bones of the METACARPUS, articulating with the CARPAL BONES proximally and the PHALANGES OF FINGERS distally.
Movement
The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.
