Spondyloperipheral dysplasia-short ulna syndrome

Spondyloperipheral dysplasia-short ulna syndrome is a rare, genetic, primary bone dysplasia, with highly variable phenotype, typically characterized by platyspondyly, brachydactyly type E changes (short metacarpals and metatarsals, short distal phalanges in hands and feet), bilateral short ulnae and mild short stature. Other reported features include additional skeletal findings (e.g. midface hypoplasia, degenerative changes in proximal femora, limited elbow extension, bilateral sacralization of L5, clubfeet), as well as myopia, hearing loss, and intellectual disability.

Short metacarpal

Diminished length of one or more metacarpal bones in relation to the others of the same hand or to the contralateral metacarpal.
