They’re composed of a collection of ligaments, muscles, joints, and bones that allow your hands to function. The bones of the hand are: Phalanges. These are the bones in your fingers and thumb.

The thumb then connects to the hand bone, or thumb metacarpal. As a result of only having two phalanges, the thumb only has one joint, while the other fingers have two joints.

Frank Gore, the San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowl running back, broke a bone in his right hand Monday during the first padded practice of training camp and might not play in the preseason.

TOPLINE: Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) were linked to collateral ligament lesions (CLLs) in the interphalangeal joints of patients with hand osteoarthritis (OA), with BMLs being less common than CLLs ...

Researchers at ETH in Zurich, a public university, along with a US-based startup affiliated with MIT have printed a robotic hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons for the very first time ...

It dates back least 1.84 million years, more than 600,000 years older than next-oldest example, a human-like hand bone found at a site in Spain known as Sierra de Atapuerca.

This may not be the first appearance of the modern human hand, but we believe that it is close to the origin, given that we do not see this anatomy in any human fossils older than 1.8 million years.
