Re HP:0005916 Abnormal metacarpal morphology #9654

HP:0005916 Abnormal metacarpal morphology Whilst the textual definition states "Irregularly shaped metacarpal bones of varying degree", as well as the synonyms, the subtypes are a range of conditions/morphologies much wider than suggested, including osteolysis, sclerosis, duplication as well as fracture. Should the definition be updated ?

Thanks, Graham, you are right. I changed the definition to "Any abnormal shape or structure of the metacarpal bones."
