“…Munuera-Martínez et al [29] established in a control group of 252 subjects a mean value for MTT I-II protrusion of 2 mm, increasing to 4 mm in the HAV-affected group studied. The latter found a mean value of MTT II–IV relative protrusion of –13.74 mm for men and –10.24 mm for women in the control group, against the –12.33 mm for men and −9.60 mm for women found in the present study.…”

“…Brachymetatarsia is an abnormal shortness of the metatarsals that can affect any of the five metatarsal, but the one most frequently involved is the 4th. The deformity is not very common, and its incidence has been determined as between 1 in 1820 and 1 in 4586 of the population [29]. …”

There is not any method to measure metatarsal protrusion in the whole metatarsal. The aim of this research is to know the normal metatarsal parabola in male and female feet. The system of measurement devised by Hardy and Clapham to evaluate the protrusion between metatarsals I and II was adapted to study the whole metatarsal parabola and applied to the five metatarsals of 169 normal feet, 72 female feet and 97 male feet. Authors measured all metatarsal protrusion relative to metatarsal II. The results obtained show a female metatarsal protrusion relative to metatarsal II of +1.27% for metatarsal I, −3.36% for metatarsal III, −8.34% for metatarsal IV, and −15.54% for metatarsal V. Data obtained for male metatarsal parabola were +0.5% for metatarsal I, −3.77 for metatarsal III, −9.57 for metatarsal IV, and −17.05 for metatarsal V. Differences between both metatarsal parabola were significant.

“…Brachymetatarsia is caused by premature arrest of the growth of the epiphysis and becomes apparent by approximately 10 years of age (Kim et al, ). There are three types of brachymetatarsia: idiopathic congenital, associated congenital and acquired (Munuera Martinez et al, ).…”

A Case of Brachymetatarsia From Medieval Sardinia (Italy)

Archaeological excavations carried out in the Medieval village of Geridu (Sardinia) uncovered several burials dating to the late 13th or the first half of 14th century. Among these individuals, the skeleton of an adult female showing a bilateral abnormal shortness of the fourth metatarsal bone was identified. Bilaterality and absence of other skeletal anomalies allow to rule out an acquired aetiology of the disease and to support a diagnosis of congenital brachymetatarsia. Such a rare deformity has a clinical incidence of 0.02% to 0.05%, with strong predominance of the female gender. To our knowledge, no other cases of brachymetatarsia have been reported in paleopathology so far. Anat Rec, 297:650-652, 2014. V C 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
