Abstract:
A case of osteochondrodystrophy is reported, involving many joints of upper and lower extremities. These affections exhibit valgus-flexion deformity of both elbows, extruding distal ulnar end at the wrist and brachiophalangism of both hands, manly thumb and index finger. Varus deformity of left ankle and brachio-phalangism of both feet were also demonstrable. Thorough radiological and histological examination were carried out. Initial treatment was the resection of distal end of ulna, promoting the correction of the deformity and better wrist motion. Some reviews with literatures are supplemented.
