Overview
Findings on an x-ray include short distal phalanx of thumb and short third to fifth metacarpals associated with features of albright hereditary osteodystrophy.Findings on an x-ray of hand in acrodysostosis include shortened metacarpals with cone epiphyses. In acrodysostosis the spine may also be affected with loss of caudal widening of interpedicular distance, which may correlate with stenosis of the spinal canal.
