Abstract

Fibular hemimelia is the most common congenital absence or hypoplasia of long bone. In addition to fibular absence or hypoplasia, this entity also includes various combined abnormalities of the lower limbs. We present here three cases of fibular hemimelia who underwent diagnosis and treatment in our hospital. Wee especially focus on the imaging findings of the plain radiographs, and we compare them with the findings found at another presentation.
