it is spelled deformities.

And deformities can arise from the use of splints after a fracture, if the fractures are not set properly.

Also osteoporosis, pseudoepiphyses (lumps) and also birth defects that cause the shortness of one or some of the metacarpal bones.

osteoarthritis, leprosy, TB, a number if different dysplasias, rheumatoid arthritis, fracture calluses, several different neoplasms could affect them, rickets, scurvey... the list can go on. Some disease will have a tendency to affect them more than others of course, particularly rheumatoid arthritis.
