Dominant erbliche doppelseitige Dysplasie und Synostose des Ellenbogengelenks

Symmetrical dysplasia of the elbow joint and humero-radial synostosis together with brachymesophalangism, shortening of metacarpale I, and synostosis of carpal and tarsal bones in a boy, his mother and most probably also his grandmother is described. The combined malformations resemble closely those reported in a father and his daughter by Joachimsthal and in a father and his son by Mouchet and Saint-Pierre. It is suggested that this may represent a distinct hereditary entity.
