Abstract:
We report three further patients of the recently described new bone dysplasia-dominantly inherited pseudorheumatoid arthritis. The patients of this report have a similar clinical history, the same distinctive phenotype and almost identical radiographic findings. The only major difference is absence of weather dependent articular pain which characterized the family of the previous study. This report expands the clinical data of this bone dysplasia. All patients are Caucasians and originate from different parts of the Czech Republic. It seems that this disorder is quite a common constitutional bone disorder in this country. We propose the name of Czech Dysplasia Metatarsal Type for this unique disease.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
