Brachydactyly type B (BDB) is a very rare congenital malformation characterized by hypoplasia or aplasia of the terminal parts of fingers 2 to 5, with complete absence of the fingernails.

Cone-shaped epiphyses (also known as coned epiphyses) are epiphyses that invaginate into cupped metaphyses. That is, the epiphysis has a cone-shaped distal extension resulting from increased growth of the central portion of the epiphysis relative to its periphery.
