| | Distal Muscular Dystrophy |
 | | The onset of distal MD generally occurs between the ages of 40 and 60, and the primary symptom is weakness in the hands and other affected muscles. | | | The distal muscles are those of the extremities, (distal meaning farthest from the center) and include muscles in the hands, forearms, lower legs, and feet. | | | This form of MD is actually a group of autosomal-dominant inherited diseases that have in common their weakening effects on the distal muscles. |

| | Advances in Distal Radius Fixation |
| | Because the distal radial metaphysis consists of soft spongy bone and often becomes highly comminuted, internal fixation of this part of the human anatomy was difficult if not impossible to perform using conventional techniques. | | | Consequently, lower standards were applied to the treatment of these injuries as compared to other parts of the body despite the fact that early motion is essential in the rehabilitation of the hand and fracture reduction correlates with the quality of the functional result. | | | The pegs should be inclined distally in order to provide support primarily underneath the dorsal subchondral bone, a requirement for effective fixation in lieu of osteoporotic changes. |

| | The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Osteolysis of the Distal Clavicle |
| | Osteolysis of the distal clavicle is typically associated with AC pain and, on radiographs, a loss of subchondral bone detail, AC separation, and cystic changes (1). | | | Cahill (2) found 50% of the distal clavicles that he surgically removed for osteolysis had microfractures. | | | The patient with osteolysis of the distal clavicle usually reports a dull ache over the superior aspect of the shoulder. |

| | CT and MRI are used to evaluate complex distal radial fractures for the evaluation of associated injuries and for surgical planning. | | | The pronator quadratus muscle is located across the volar aspect of the distal radius and ulna. | | | Note that ulnar variance does not depend on the length of the ulnar styloid but on the positioning of the forearm and the radiographic technique (see Image 1). |

| | Muscular dystrophy, distal definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms |
| | The second type of distal MD starts after age 40, affects the muscles of the hands and feet and then the muscles closer to the trunk but does not shorten the life span. | | | Muscular dystrophy, distal: One of two genetic muscle diseases characterized by wasting of the muscles most distant from the midline, such as those of the hands and feet. | | | Distal MD is also known as distal myopathy and distal hereditary myopathy. |

| | Distal spinal muscular atrophy, type V - Genetics Home Reference |
| | You may also be interested in these resources, which are designed for healthcare professionals and researchers. | | | How do people inherit distal spinal muscular atrophy, type V? This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. | | | Cramps in the hand induced by the cold are often the initial symptom. |
