title: [Comparative bilateral morphometric characteristics of human finger bones].
abstract: The morphometric parameters of fingers of the hand in teenage girls were studied using the measurement complex developed by the author. The quantitative characteristics of distal phalangers, individual finger segments and the whole fingers as local anatomical structures belonging to hand, are presented. The analysis of these parameters was performed from the point of view of principles of bilateral and radial symmetry, structural and functional lateralization and evolutionary development of hand of the prehensile type. The results obtained may find application in designing the peripheral devices for telecommunication and computer techniques.
