Naming convention for implant locations in the hand

0 - The triangle tissue between the metacarpal bones of the thumb and index finger
1 - Between metacarpals of the index and middle finger
2 - Between metacarpals of the middle and ring finger
3 - Between metacarpals of the ring and small (pinky) finger
4 - Just outside the metacarpal of the small (pinky) finger
5 - The outer edge (knife edge) if the hand

*The following positions are mostly listed for consistency, but they are very uncommon implant locations due to their relatively small size and are typically not suited for implantation for that reason.

6 - On or around the proximal phalanx of the thumb*
7 - On or around the proximal phalanx of the index finger*
8 - On or around the proximal phalanx of the middle finger
9 - On or around the proximal phalanx of the ring finger*
10 - On or around the proximal phalanx of the small (pinky) finger*
11 - On the palmar side of the metacarpal of the thumb*
