  • Title: Paraterminal ligaments of the distal phalanx.
    Author: Soon PS, Arnold MA, Tracey DJ.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1991; 142(4):339-46. PubMed ID: 1801526.
    Abstract:
    The paraterminal ligaments of the distal phalanges have been studied by dissection. They are a normal feature of all distal phalanges in both the hand and foot, and connect the paraterminal spines and paraterminal tubercles of the distal phalanx on both sides. Branches of the proper palmar digital artery and nerve pass under the ligament to reach the matrix of the nail, which they supply.
