Articular surfaces.—For the metacarpal bone, there are two lateral condyles and a median antero-posterior eminence ; for the first phalanx, two glenoid cavities and an intermediate groove prolonged posteriorly on the anterior face of the two sesamoids. Divided in this manner into three portions, the digital surface is well constituted for solidity, because the pressure transmitted to this region is diminished and Fig. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Chauveau, A.
