- known as carpus curves
- result of epiphyseal arrest on ulnar and volar half of distal radius... causes articular surface to be directed ulnarward and olarward

1. Bilateral in 50-60% of cases.
2. Decreased carpal angle below 118 degree [normal from 118 to 149 degree].
3. Herniation of proximal carpal row of bones = V-shaped carpal row.
4. Associated with mesomelic dwarfism in Madelun's dyschondrosteosis with lost fragment of proximal radius.
5. Madelun's dyschondrosteosis is bilateral overwhelmingly in females with short stature and family history of short stature.
