"Multicentric carpal tarsal osteolysis is a rare skeletal disorder which is characterised by progressive osteolysis of the carpal, metacarpal and tarsal bones. It usually presents in early childhood with progressive pain and stiffness of the wrist, feet and elbow, clinically mimicking juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This leads to joint deformities and is also often associated with chronic renal failure."

Line 1:146 · Use the Oxford comma in 'carpal, metacarpal and tarsal'.
