	Acromesomelic Dysplasia
		Acromesomelic Dysplasia is an extremely rare inherited progressive disorder characterized by premature fusion of the regions (metaphyses) where the shafts (diaphyses) of certain long bones (i.e., bones of the arms and legs) meet their growing ends (epiphyses).
		Acromesomelic Dysplasia is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait.
		In individuals with Acromesomelic Dysplasia, because the abnormalities of cartilage and bone development in the hands and feet are also progressive, the bones within the fingers and toes (phalanges), as well as in the body of the hands (metacarpals) and feet (metatarsals), may become increasingly shorter and more broad during the first years of life.

	Pseudoachondroplastic Dysplasia
		In some cases, the wrist may be abnormally flexed toward the pinky side of the hand (ulnar deviation of the wrist) and the elbows and hips may have limited flexibility.
		Some cases of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia are due to mutations of the COMP gene, meaning that those cases are allelic to some cases of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (i.e., caused by different mutations of the same disease gene).
		Congenital spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.

	eMedicine - Arthrogryposis : Article by Harold Chen
		The pathogenesis is thought to involve impaired blood circulation to the fetus early in pregnancy; hypotension and hypoxia damage the anterior horn cells, resulting in a lack or underdevelopment of muscle tissue, with fatty or connective tissue replacement.
		The goal of treatment is an elbow with passive or active flexion capability (feeding arm) and extension capability (toilet arm).
		Because the elbow is crucial to hand function, the elbow must be mobile before a wrist deformity is corrected.

	Congenital
		Deformities of the wrist are usually operated on around 6 months of age.
		Treatment is difficult - mild cases - strapping and manipulation; severe cases - correction of wrist deformity (Centralisation) by fusing ulna to carpus or circular frame and provision of a thumb (Pollicisation) using Buck-Gramko method (transfer, shortening and rotation of index finger).
		This is not associated with systemic disorders as is the radial club hand but can be associated with other musculoskeletal deformities, especially hand deformities.

	Hereditary Multiple Exostoses: A Current Understanding of Clinical and Genetic Advances, pg. 39--48
		A related entity known as dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica, or Trevor's disease, is a rare disorder in which osteochondromas arise from an epiphysis [88].
		HME is most frequently described in Caucasions and affects 0.9 to 2 individuals per 100,000; higher prevalences of the condition have been identified in isolated communities such as the Chamorros of Guam or the Ojibway Indian community of Pauingassi in Manitoba, Canada [6,35,42,56,69,85,94].
		While exostoses of the hand resulted in shortening of the metacarpals and phalanges, brachydactyly was also observed in the absence of exostoses [18].

	ABC's of MHE - How MHE Can Affect Each Part of the Body
		Since movements of the forearm (pronation and supination) are dependant on the radius moving in an arc of motion around the ulna, mobility may be restricted depending upon the severity of presentation.
		Also the lower end radius exostoses can lead to compression of the median nerve (in a closed space at the level of the wrist called the carpal tunnel) and present with weakness, tingling and numbness in the hand.
		While exostoses of the hand resulted in shortening of the metacarpals and phalanges, brachydactyly was also observed in the absence of exostoses.

		There is joint effusion, osteoporosis, symmetrical joint space narrowing, articular erosions, widened intercondylar notch, squared patella, it is very similar to the changes seen in JRA.
		Achondroplasia produces skull anomalies including brachycephaly and a hypoplastic skull base, vertebral anomalies including posterior scalloping, scoliosis, laminar thickening, rounded anterior beaking of the lumbar vertebral bodies, and widened intervertebral foramina, yet lumbar spinal stenosis from ventrodorsal and interpediculate space narrowing.
