Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. Zhen et al. 1986Biped, digitigrade, with three clawed toes (II, III, IV), neither impression of hallux nor toe V, nor tail impression. The length of pe and pace is in a ratio of about 1:4.3. The angles between the phalanges are large, II-30°-III-45*-IV. The phalangeal pad is elliptic. The crease is wide.
