Spanish term

Pulpero

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) In medical report
No puede cerrar el puño, distancia pulpero palma 1 cm.

I can't find a translation for "pulpero" that would make sense in this context.. I assume it means that if they try and close their fist, the distance between the palm and *something* (fingers, knuckles?) is 1 cm?

Thank you!

In the query context ... it refers to the distance between the fingertips (pulpejos de los dedos) And the base (or "heel") of the hand. And it can also apparently also mean earlobes. It generally refers to any sort of padded part like fingertips etc. (Parte carnosa, blanda y redondeada de algunos miembros pequeños del cuerpo, especialmente el lóbulo de la oreja, las zonas blandas del dorso de cada dedo y la parte de la palma de la mano que comunica con el pulgar).

Entonces cualquier parte palmar de los dedos es pulpero.
Si la distancia es de 1cm solo puede ser pulpejo de la falange media (intermediate phalange pulp)

disagree liz askew : what does this have to do with making a fist and distance of 1 cm

in this case is not heel of the hand but finger pulp once 'pulpejo' is any fleshy part of a little limb
neutral neilmac : In this case, it refers to "pulpejos de los dedos", ie. e. fingertips.

Yes, but not fingrtips, in this case (cualquier parte palmar de los dedos es pulpero) see note
