Theyalso appear too thick for their lengths. This deficiency, togetherwith the relatively far better, though not normal, developmentof the epiphyseal extremities or ends, constitute the most char-acteristic radiographic feature of the disease. 2. The peculiar characteristic appearance of the hands andfeet due to the same abnormalities in development of the shortlong bones. 3. The abrupt expansion of the diaphyses or shafts in thei
