(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1975-11)
As shown in 56 human embryos and fetuses between 15 and 104 mm in crown-rump length, “adult” metacarpal-phalangeal length rankings are attained by the seventh intrauterine week and near-adult bone-to-bone ratios or proportions ...

(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1972-09)
Subjects with brachymesophalangia-5 (the short middle segment trait of the fifth digit) are systematically reduced in the length of the second metacarpal and in stature, by approximately 0.5 standard deviations, in contrast ...
