The human hand is a complex structure that represents the most distal part of the upper limb. It is composed of five digits - thumb or pollux, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinkie or little finger. The skeleton of each hand is usually formed by 27 bones, excluding the sesamoid bones.
