Wrist. Painless limitation movement of wrist will be graded

according to the degree of stiffness. Loss of dorsiflexion is more

serious than loss of palmer flexion.

rejection. Carrying angle of more than 15 degree for male and

more 18 degree for female candidates will be a cause for rejection.

Shoulder Girdle. History of recurrent dislocation of shoulder will

entail rejection.

Clavicle. Malunion / non-union of an old fracture clavicle will entail

Hammer Toes (single or multiple). Isolated single flexible mild
