In 1982 Hanle and Braun described a new form of hereditary metaphyseal dysplasia. It is characterized Form lof Hereditary Meteby changes in dystal metaphyses of femoral bones which are formed as Erlenmeyer flasks, further by club-shaped dysplasias of the metaphyses of the other long bones, absence of skeletal hyperstosis and by characteristic yams-deformations of radial bones. An extensive family hisYtory research showed that the oldest carriers of these anomalies came from a small town in northern Bohemia. Completely identical case reports were published describing the carriers of metaphyseal dysplasia character's whose origin was also traced to the same region. The authors aim at drawing attention to this new disease, finding more carriers of metaphyseal dysplasia characters and at giving an impulse to an extensive research into this extremely systemic rare bone disease.
