| annular part of fibrous digital sheath | One of the two circular fibrous bands of the fibrous sheaths of the fingers and toes attached to the shaft of the proximal and middle phalanges. Synonym: pars annularis vaginae fibrosae, annular pulley, annulus of fibrous sheath, ligamentum annulare digitorum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| radiography, dental, digital | A rapid, low-dose, digital imaging system using a small intraoral sensor instead of radiographic film, an intensifying screen, and a charge-coupled device. It presents the possibility of reduced patient exposure and minimal distortion, although resolution and latitude are inferior to standard dental radiography. A receiver is placed in the mouth, routing signals to a computer which images the signals on a screen or in print. It includes digitizing from X-ray film or any other detector. (12 Dec 1998) |
| palmar digital veins | Paired venae comitantes of the proper and common digital arteries that empty into the superficial palmar venous arch. Synonym: venae digitales palmares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurring digital fibromas of childhood | Multiple fibrous flesh-coloured nodules on the extensor aspect of the terminal phalanges of adjacent digits of infants and young children which often recur after attempted excision, do not metastasize, and may spontaneously regress in two to three years; composed of spindle cells containing cytoplasmic inclusions believed to be derived from myofibrils. Synonym: infantile digital fibromatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common palmar digital nerves | Four nerves in the palm that send branches (proper palmar digital nerves) to adjacent sides of two digits; three are branches of the median, one is from the ulnar. Synonym: nervi digitales palmares communes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common plantar digital nerves | Three nerves derived from the medial plantar and one from the lateral plantar that supply the skin overlying the metatarsals and terminate as proper plantar digital nerves to the side of each toe. Synonym: nervi digitales plantares communes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar digital veins | Drain the plantar and distal dorsal aspects (nail beds) of the toes and pass back to form four metatarsal veins that in turn empty into the plantar venous arch. Synonym: venae digitales plantares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cruciform part of fibrous digital sheath | The fibres of the fibrous sheath of the fingers and toes which form X-shaped patterns over the region of the interphalangeal joints. Synonym: pars cruciformis vaginae fibrosae, crucial ligament, cruciform part of fibrous sheath, cruciform pulley, ligamenta cruciata digitorum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proper palmar digital nerves | The palmar nerves of the digits of the hand derived from common palmar digital nerves; each nerve supplies a palmar quadrant of a digit and a part of the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx. Synonym: nervi digitales palmares proprii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proper plantar digital nerves | The ten nerves derived from the common plantar digital nerves; each nerve supplies a plantar quadrant of a toe and part of the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx. Synonym: nervi digitales plantares proprii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| digital | Relating to or resembling a digit or digits or an impression made by them; based on numerical methodology. (05 Mar 2000) |
| digital crease | One of the grooves on the palmar surface of a finger, at the level of an interphalangeal joint. Synonym: digital flexion crease, digital furrow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| digital dilatation | Use of the finger or finger-tip to enlarge an orifice or opening, such as enlarging the orifice of a sclerosed mitral valve surgically. (05 Mar 2000) |
| digital flexion crease | One of the grooves on the palmar surface of a finger, at the level of an interphalangeal joint. Synonym: digital flexion crease, digital furrow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| digital fossa | A depression at the root of the neck of the femur beneath the curved tip of the great trochanter; it gives attachment to the tendon of the obturator externus. Synonym: fossa trochanterica, digital fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
