Definition

Antoine Micheau

The proximal digital crease (also called the digital-palmar crease or proximal digital flexion crease) is the most proximal of the transverse skin folds found on the palmar (volar) surface of the fingers (digits 2–5). It is located at the base of each finger, marking the junction between the palm and the digit.
