| bones of digits | The phalanges and sesamoid bones of the fingers and toes. Synonym: ossa digitorum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clubbed digits | <clinical sign> A condition which describes the broadening or thickening of the tips of the fingers (and toes) with increased lengthwise curvature of the nail and a decrease in the angle normally seen between the cuticle and the fingernail. Often this finding on physical examination can be quite subtle and easily overlooked. Clubbing may be seen in a wide variety of conditions - most of which result in a decrease in blood oxygen. Examples include: tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great vessels, atrial myxomas, cystic fibrosis, emphysema, lung cancer, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, Hodgkin's disease, cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis and Crohn's disease. This finding will generally provoke a more detailed patient evaluation. (11 Nov 1997) |

Synonym: musculus abductor digiti minimi manus, abductor muscle of little finger, musculus abductor digiti quinti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accoucheur's hand | Position of the hand in tetany or in muscular dystrophy; the fingers are flexed at the metacarpophalangeal joints and extended at the phalangeal joints, with the thumb flexed and adducted into the palm; in resemblance to the position of the physician's hand in making a vaginal examination. Synonym: main d'accoucheur, obstetrical hand. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ape hand | A deformity marked by extension of the thumb in the same plane as the palm and fingers. Synonym: monkey hand, monkey-paw. (05 Mar 2000) |
