That is, hypoplasia of one or more of the distal phalanx of finger. HP:0006076 HP:0009882 Hypoplasia of the distal phalanges HP:0006132 HP:0006199 HP:0006075 Distal phalangeal hypoplasia Hypoplastic distal phalanges Short distal phalanges Hypoplastic terminal phalanges Short outermost finger bone HP:0006223 HP:0001198 This term differs from Partial absence of the finger because in that term, the phalanx must be missing, whereas in this term it may be small, but present. Distal phalangeal lengths can be assessed subjectively by comparing that digit segment to the rest of the digit, to other normal digits in that patient, or to typical patients of that age or build. Regarding the subjective definition, for individuals who do not have flexion creases, one may determine this by flexing the DIP joint and estimating the length of the terminal segment of the digit. Alternatively, one may be able to palpate the joint. UMLS:C1839829 Brachytelophalangy Hypoplasia of the distal phalanges of the hand abnormal decreased length distal phalanx of manus
