Portuguese term or phrase: mão zamba
mão zamba: Deformação congênita da mão, na qual esta se apresenta torcida de encontro ao antebraço.

I wonder if "mão zamba" means bowed hand:
"Skeletal examination revealed deformed chest, rachitic rosary (beading of ribs), Harrison’s sulcus, transverse sulcus, bowed hands and (genus valgum) knock knees. Widening of epiphyseal ends of wrist, elbows, and ankle joints were also noticed (Figure 1)." http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajcmr/2/4/1/index.html

I also found a reference to "bandy-armed":

"A long minute was waisted dragging unbroken oars from the larboard side across to the starboard and feeding them into the tholes and still the ship swam. At the first hesitant pull to the passenger's ringing shout, the ship moved a fraction of its own length. 'Pull!' he bellowed again, taking his timing from a bandy-armed professional on the bench under his feet." (Word Reference)

Comment from an internet user (translated from Italian) in response to the above quote:
"I found out that "bandy-legged" means "crooked legs". Does it make sense here to have crooked arms?"

Another user: "I imagine it must mean the same thing, though I don't think I've ever heard it, just as I've never heard bow-armed, which would be the analog to bow-legged, a synonym for bandy-legged."
