Yes, there is. Look around, google, etc. The winner was on 165s, most are on 170s, some 172.5 and 175. No one smaller than 165 that I saw. Short cranks are an online fad IMO - that is unless one has knee issues with limit one's range of motion like a TKR. For the most part, working to improve one's range of motion for all joints is the way to go. In the weight room, I do everything to full range of motion, injury prevention.
