Case Discussion
Tibial hemimelia (also known as tibial deficiency) is a congenital condition.
It is a spectrum of deformity characterized by a shortened or absent tibia and relatively unaffected fibula.
Tibial hemimelia is usually associated with lower extremity deformities , most commonly of the foot (ectrodactyly, preaxial polydactyly, ulnar aplasia).
