[Laila Berri]

Aclaw is a curved, pointed appendage found at the end of a toe or finger in most amniotes (mammals, reptiles, birds). Some invertebrates such as beetles and spiders have somewhat similar fine, hooked structures at the end of the leg or tarsus for gripping a surface as they walk. The pincers of crabs, lobsters and scorpions, more formally known as their chelae, are sometimes called claws.

A true claw is made of a hard protein called keratin. Claws are used to catch and hold prey in carnivorous mammals such as cats and dogs, but may also be used for such purposes as digging, climbing trees, self-defense and grooming, in those and other species.

Similar appendages that are flat and do not come to a sharp point are called nails instead. Claw-like projections that do not form at the end of digits but spring from other parts of the foot are properly named spurs.[1]

In tetrapods, claws are made of keratin and consist of two layers. The unguis is the harder external layer, which consists of keratin fibers arranged perpendicular to the direction of growth and in layers at an oblique angle. The subunguis is the softer, flaky underside layer whose grain is parallel to the direction of growth. The claw grows outward from the nail matrix at the base of the unguis and the subunguis grows thicker while travelling across the nail bed. The unguis grows outward faster than the subunguis to produce a curve and the thinner sides of the claw wear away faster than their thicker middle, producing a more or less sharp point. Tetrapods use their claws in many ways, commonly to grasp or kill prey, to dig and to climb and hang.

All carnivorans have claws, which vary considerably in length and shape. Claws grow out of the third phalanges of the paws and are made of keratin. Many predatory mammals have protractile claws that can partially hide inside the animal's paw, especially the cat family, Felidae, almost all of whose members have fully protractible claws. Outside of the cat family, retractable claws are found only in certain species of the Viverridae (and the extinct Nimravidae).[2] A claw that is retractable is protected from wear and tear.

Most cats and dogs also have a dewclaw on the inside of the front paws. It is much less functional than the other claws but does help the cats to grasp prey. Because the dew claw does not touch the ground, it receives less wear and tends to be sharper and longer.

A nail is homologous to a claw but is flatter and has a curved edge instead of a point. A nail that is big enough to bear weight is called a "hoof". (Nevertheless, one side of the cloven-hoof of artiodactyl ungulates may also be called a claw).

Every so often, the growth of claws stops and restarts, as does hair. In a hair, this results in the hair falling out and being replaced by a new one. In claws, this results in an abscission layer, and the old segment breaks off. This process takes several months for human thumbnails. Cats are often seen working old unguis layers off on wood or on boards made for the purpose. Ungulates' hooves wear or self-trim by ground contact. Domesticated equids (horses, donkeys and mules) usually need regular trimming by a farrier, as a consequence of reduced activity on hard ground.

Primate nails consist of the unguis alone, as the subunguis has disappeared. With the evolution of grasping hands and feet, claws are no longer necessary for locomotion, and instead most digits exhibit nails. However, claw-like nails are found in small-bodied callitrichids on all digits except the hallux or big toe. A laterally flattened grooming claw, used for grooming, can be found on the second toe in living strepsirrhines, and the second and third in tarsiers. Aye-ayes have functional claws on all other digits except the hallux, including a grooming claw on the second toe.[3] Less commonly known, a grooming claw is also found on the second pedal digit of night monkeys (Aotus), titis (Callicebus), and possibly other New World monkeys.[4]

Most reptiles have well-developed claws. Most lizards have toes ending in stout claws.[5] In snakes, feet and claws are absent, but in many boids such as Boa constrictor, remnants of highly reduced hind-limbs emerge with a single claw as "spurs" on each side of the anal opening.

A talon is the claw of a bird of prey, its primary hunting tool.[6] The talons are very important; without them, most birds of prey would not be able to catch their food. Some birds also use claws for defensive purposes. Cassowaries use claws on their inner toe (digit I) for defence and have been known to disembowel people.[7][8] All birds, however, have claws, which are used as general holdfasts and protection for the tip of the digits.

The hoatzin and turaco are unique among extant birds in having functional claws on the thumb and index finger (digits I and II) on the forelimbs as chicks, allowing them to climb trees until the adult plumage with flight feathers develop.[9][10] However, several birds have a claw- or nail-like structure hidden under the feathers at the end of the hand digits, notably ostriches, emus, ducks, geese and kiwis.[11]

The only amphibians to bear claws are the African clawed frogs. Claws evolved separately in the amphibian and amniote (reptiliomorph) line.[12] However, the hairy frog has claw analogues on its feet; the frog intentionally dislocates the tips of its fingers to unsheathe the sharp points of its last phalanges.

Picked from the swimming fins of the crab, Phillips claw crab meat is a brown meat with a strong flavor profile. Claw is ideal for dishes with heavy sauces or in dips and soups, as the flavor of the crab still comes through.

Not fully automatically, I guess, but you could modify the 3 point circular ROI plugin G. Landini - Software to approach the inner curvature by clicking on 3 points (and modify it to set the centre of the circle on the image).

That should give you the radius and the centre (point E). Then you need to try to identify the intersection (points A and B) of the circle with the tip and base of the claw. The angle Tool might be useful to measure the angle.

This Claw Friendly Educational Toolkit was developed to support veterinary professionals by providing comprehensive and robust research and educational resources in one place. Scratching is a normal feline behavior and the AAFP strongly opposes declawing as an elective procedure, as stated in the 2017 Declawing Position Statement.

This Claw Friendly Educational Toolkit contains in-depth information for veterinary professionals, practices, and clients. To use this Toolkit, click on the tabs at the top of the navigation bar to access each page and read more about each area including: a review and summary of scientific literature, scratching educational resources, frequently asked questions from both client and veterinary practices, sample phone counseling scripts, sample practice implementation plans, real-life practice experiences, client resources, and more.

Each page also has an associated printable PDF you can use in your practice. Additionally, links to the Declawing Position Statement and a free webinar are included on the left sidebar. A printable version of the entire Toolkit, which contains information from each page, is also included on the left sidebar.

The term claw toe is most likely derived from the affected toe's similarity in appearance to the claw of an animal or talon of a bird (see the image below). The talon typically curves upward before it makes a descending C-shaped curve.

Claw toe is distinguished from hammer toe by the combination of dorsiflexion of the MTP joint and plantarflexion of the DIP joint in the former condition (see the image below). In contrast, a hammer toe may have some hyperextension at the MTP joint or some flexion at the DIP joint, but it does not have both concurrently. Typically, the DIP joint is extended in a hammer toe.

Hammer toe is differentiated from curly toe, which has combined plantarflexion of all three joints (see the first image below), as well as from mallet toe, which has a neutral position of the MTP and PIP joints and flexion at the DIP joint (see the second and third images below). Clawing often affects multiple toes (see the fourth image below). [1, 2, 3]

Indications for treatment are those presentations that produce pain (see Presentation). Contraindications for operative treatment include poor vascularity to the toe (including vascular problems that could lead to ischemia and possible need for amputation following surgery, such as diabetes or atherosclerosis) and poor skin quality. An open infected wound should also be resolved prior to surgery.

Pharmacologic treatment for claw toes may be appropriate, depending on the underlying cause; however, such treatments are not believed to reverse the claw toe position. Conservative therapy (including footwear changes and use of a metatarsal bar or padding) may be helpful.

Various operative procedures are available for treatment of a claw toe. (See Treatment.) When to perform each of the procedures and the extent of the surgical procedure on a single toe, and other aspects of operative treatment remain controversial. Minimally invasive (percutaneous) approaches to treatment of lesser-toe deformities such as claw toe have been developed and are associated with high correction potential and low complication rates. [4]

The extensor tendon crosses and is held over the MTP joint by an aponeurotic band of fibrous tissue. Although it does not insert into the proximal phalanx, it is able to dorsiflex the proximal phalanx of the MTP joint through this aponeurotic band, which goes around the MTP joint and is inserted onto the plantar plate (see the image below).
