| Although it's extremely uncommon, minimal cutaneous gangrene necessitates amputation of one or more phalanges. |
| The hind limb includes a femur, tibia, fibula, astragalus, calcaneum, distal tarsal four, and remains of four metatarsals and two phalanges. |
| From here proximally the phalanges are broad and depressed and the scansors extend towards the base of the digits beneath these highly modified phalanges. |
| There are eight carpal bones in the wrist, five metacarpals, and 14 nonsesamoid bones that comprise the phalanges. |
| The first two phalanges of each digit are flattened and expanded, while the last is reduced and bears a nail, not a hoof. |
| Extant humeralrotation diggers exhibit broad palms and short non-ungual phalanges, and include moles and some frogs and amphisbaenians. |
