Preferred Label : Tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome;
ICD-11 definition : Tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome is characterised by fusion of the carpals, tarsals,
and phalanges. At birth, patients present with stiffness of the proximal interphalangeal
joint of the fifth digit, with or without bony synostosis. Proximo-distal progression
leads to involvement of the fourth, third and then the second digits. Other anomalies
include brachydactyly, humeroradial synostoses and, in some cases, short stature.
Tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome can be distinguished from multiple synostoses syndrome
and proximal symphalangism by the absence of hearing loss.;
