  • Title: A rare case of complete proximal epiphyses (so-called pseudoepiphyses) of the metacarpal and metatarsal bones in the human.
    Author: Nakashima T, Furukawa H.
    Journal: Ann Anat; 1997 Dec; 179(6):549-51. PubMed ID: 9442263.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of complete proximal epiphyses (so-called pseudoepiphyses) of metacarpal and metatarsal bones in a human. These phenomena were seen in both the hands and feet of a seven-year-old girl undergoing medical examination for pain in the right foot. During medical treatment, X-ray photographs of the hands and feet were taken. Each metacarpal and metatarsal bone except for the first metacarpal bones had supernumerary epiphyses (complete pseudoepiphyses) at the nonepiphyseal end of these bones. This is a rare case even for an experienced orthopaedic surgeon.
