On the basis of studying roentgenograms of 1007 wrists in 769 persons the author presents the incidence of the metacarpal syndrome in the population and in some disturbances of the rate of physical development. A metacarpal index determined by roentgenogram as the ratio of the IV and the II metacarpal bones multiplied by 100 is suggested. The value ocal and is often encountered in gonad dysgenesia. Estrogen therapy failed to eliminate this ratio disturbance in the metacarpus. Girls with an accelerated physical development had a tendency to increase of the metacarpal index. As a rule this index was within the normal limits in Klinefelter's syndrome.
在对769人1007只手腕的X线片进行研究的基础上，作者阐述了掌骨综合征在人群中的发病率以及在某些身体发育速度紊乱情况中的发病率。建议通过X线片确定掌骨指数，即第四和第二掌骨长度之比乘以100。该值在性腺发育不全中常见且呈局部性。雌激素治疗未能消除掌骨的这种比例紊乱。身体发育加速的女孩有掌骨指数增加的倾向。通常，克氏综合征患者的该指数在正常范围内。
