Tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome

Definition

Tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome (TCC) is a condition characterized by fusion of the carpals, tarsals, and phalanges in addition to shortened first metacarpals, brachydactyly, and humeroradial fusion. The fusion of the proximal interphalangeal joints starts at the fifth digit and proceeds to other digits. Humeroradial fusion can also be seen. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
