The fingers and thumb contain 14 bones, each of which is called a phalanx bone (plural = phalanges), named after the ancient Greek phalanx (a rectangular block of soldiers). Each consists of a body and two extremities: <\/p>\n The ungual phalanges<\/strong> are convex on their dorsal and flat on their volar surfaces; they are recognized by their small size, and by a roughened, elevated surface of a horseshoe form on the vo \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\n The thumb (pollex<\/strong>) is digit number 1 and has two phalanges, a proximal phalanx, and a distal phalanx bone (Picture 1).
\n Digits 2 (index finger) through 5 (little finger) have three phalanges each, called the proximal, middle, and distal phalanx bones. An interphalangeal joint<\/strong> is one of the articulations between adjacent phalanges of the digits (Picture 2).
