végtagi

Végtagi is a Hungarian adjective meaning "relating to a limb" or "appendicular." It is used primarily in medical, anatomical, and biomechanical contexts to describe structures, conditions, or procedures pertaining to the limbs. The form is derived from végtag, meaning limb or appendage, with the adjectival suffix -i, which yields terms that relate to a specific body region.

In anatomical usage, végtagi denotes elements connected with the limbs, as opposed to central or axial structures. In Hungarian, the limbs are categorized into felső végtag (upper limb) and alsó végtag (lower limb). The felső végtag includes the shoulder girdle, arm, forearm, hand, and associated joints; the alsó végtag includes the pelvic girdle, thigh, leg, ankle, and foot. The term appears in clinical descriptions, radiological reports, and medical textbooks when precision about limb-related aspects is required.

Examples of common collocations include végtagi vérkeringés (perfusion of the limbs) and végtagi amputáció (limb amputation). While used primarily in professional contexts, végtagi can also appear in educational material and discussions about movement, biomechanics, and rehabilitation. The exact meaning depends on context, but generally it designates something pertaining to a limb rather than to the central trunk or internal organs.
