A single palmer crease is known as
Simian crease
Curvature of the 5th finger is known as
Clinodactyly
Extra digits is known as
Polydactyly
Fused digits is known as
Syndactyly
Incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip
1:1000
Risk factors for developmental dysplasia of the hip
Female infants
Family history
Breech presentation from 36 weeks
Teratogenic agents /drugs
Teratogenic agents - Teratogenic drugs: A teratogen is an agent that can disturb the development of the embryo or fetus. Teratogens halt the pregnancy or produce a congenital malformation (a birth defect). Classes of teratogens include radiation, maternal infections, chemicals, and drugs.

Upper limbs
Clavicle : collarbone is a long bone that serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the sternum or breastbone.
Humerus : is the long bone in the upper arm.
Radius and ulna Arm length
Palm creases
Syndactyly - If your child has syndactyly, it means that the fingers or toes are webbed or joined and that the condition was present at birth.
Polydactyly : Extra digit
Clinodactyly: a minor congenital malformation (birth defect) is that the middle bone in the fifth finger is underdeveloped and, instead of being rectangular, is wedge- shaped.
