A phalanx is any bone of the fingers or toes. A phalanx fracture is a crack or complete break in one of these bones. A phalanx fracture can happen when your finger or toe is hit, pulled, jammed, crushed, or twisted. It is also possible for a tumor or cyst to weaken the bone, causing it to break easily when injured.

"Phalanges" is the plural form of phalanx. In anatomy, it refers collectively to the digital (finger and toe) bones in the hands and feet. There are 56 phalanx bones in the human body. The big toe (known as the hallux) and the thumb each have two phalanges, while the other fingers and toes each have three.
The middle phalanx (P2) is dislocated or subluxated dorsally, and the volar lip is fractured at its base. The “V” sign (arrow) indicates dorsal instability. Note that the volar plate (VP) attachment is involved in the fracture.
Distal phalanx fractures are usually nondisplaced or comminuted fractures. They classify into tuft (tip), shaft, or articular injuries. Tuft fractures usually result from a crushing mechanism such as hitting the tip of a finger with a hammer.
