Other brachydactylies, including:
Proximal symphalangism;
Multiple synostosis syndrome
|
| Description |
Proximal symphalangism is an autosomal-dominant condition characterized by variable fusion of the proximal interphalangeal joints. Multiple synostosis syndrome is a more severe form of proximal symphalangism with additional bone fusions involving carpal, tarsal, and other joints.
