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.
我们报告了一例人类掌骨和跖骨近端骨骺完全形成（所谓的假骨骺）的罕见病例。这些现象出现在一名因右脚疼痛接受医学检查的7岁女孩的双手和双脚上。在治疗过程中，拍摄了双手和双脚的X光照片。除第一掌骨外，每根掌骨和跖骨在其非骨骺端都有额外的骨骺（完全假骨骺）。即使对于经验丰富的骨科医生来说，这也是一个罕见的病例。
