The present investigation was undertaken to develop a standard method of recording the bone measurements of the normal hand for use in comparative studies of genetic abnormalities of the skeletal system affecting the hand. The data for this study are obtained from the radiographs of the hands of normal 461 males and 565 females aged from 20 to 84 years. Measurements of length and width of all the phalanges and metacarpals are recorded. The phalangeal index and metacarpal index of each bone are obtained by dividing the length by the width. Frequencies of brachymesophalangy of the little finger and brachytelephalangy of the thumb are investigated. There are no significant differences between the bone of the right and left hand related to hand dominance. The radiographs of the hands of mother and son with the Marfan syndrome were compared with normal one. Metacarpal index and phalangeal index are useful for diagnosis of the Marfan syndrome.
本研究旨在开发一种记录正常手部骨骼测量值的标准方法，用于对影响手部的骨骼系统遗传异常进行比较研究。本研究的数据来自461名年龄在20至84岁之间的正常男性和565名正常女性手部的X光片。记录了所有指骨和掌骨的长度和宽度测量值。通过将长度除以宽度得出每根骨头的指骨指数和掌骨指数。研究了小指短中节指骨和拇指短末节指骨的发生率。与手的优势相关的右手和左手骨骼之间没有显著差异。将患有马凡综合征的母亲和儿子的手部X光片与正常的X光片进行了比较。掌骨指数和指骨指数对马凡综合征的诊断有用。
