We present two sporadic cases of complete ulnar hemimelia, a rare congenital defect. In one case, ulnar hemimelia was associated with tridactyly and elbow malrotation with radiohumeral synostosis; in the second case, ulnar hemimelia was assciated with mono-metacarpal bidactyly and anterior cubital webbing of the elbow with fixed flexion. To the best of our knowledge, there is dearth of informat...

Until recently the accepted treatment of choice for severe type-II fibular hemimelia has been Syme's or Boyd's amputation. The alternative of distraction lengthening using the Ilizarov technique is now available. We report three patients (four limbs) with type-II fibular hemimelia who were treated by the Ilizarov technique and followed up for two to six years. Severe progressive procurvatum and...

Fig. 1.Claw like deformity of both hands, right sided tibial hemimelia with hypoplastic three toed foot and a transverse cleft on planter side of left foot. Tibial hemimelia-split hand/foot syndrome (TH-SHFM) is a rare constellation of multiple congenital malformations which includes Ectrodactyly (Lobster claw deformity or Cleft hand/foot) with a wide range of phenotypes of absent tibia/tibial ...

Hemimelia is a congenital abnormality characterized by the absence of a portion of the normal structures in a limb. Hemimelia is classified as transversal and paraxial and is related to genetical and environmental factors. This article shows the radiological findings observed in three different cases of paraxial hemimelia occurred in goats (radial agenesia, absence of the portion of the distal ...

Hemimelia as a congenital anomaly is a failure of development of extremities formation in embryonic period. This anomaly is defined as complete absence of the part of extremities and different forms were explained for hemimelia. Adactyly is an alternative name for transverse hemimelia and is a rare disorder in the most of animal species. A two months old male lamb with normal vital signs was re...

Femoral bifurcation and tibia hemimelia are rare anomalies. Hereby, we present a case report of a 2-year-old boy who first presented in our orthopedic clinic as a 12-day-old neonate, with a grossly deformed right lower limb from a combination of complete tibia hemimelia and ipsilateral femoral bifurcation. Excision of femoral exostosis, knee disarticulation and prosthetic fitting gives satisfac...

Fibular Hemimelia is the most common lower extremity congenital longitudinal deficiency (frequency 1/40,000 live births). . It is associated with a constellation of deformities including foot ray deficiencies, subtalar coalition, ball and socket ankle joint, ankle joint malorientation, diaphyseal angular deformity apex anteromedial, fibular deficiency. . Congenital shortening of the tibia assoc...

Fibular hemimelia is a rare but the most common congenital long bone deficiency, encompassing a broad range of anomalies from isolated fibular hypoplasia up to substantial femoral and tibial shortening with ankle deformity and foot deficiency. Most cases of fibular hemimelia manifest clinically significant leg length discrepancy (LLD) with time that requires adequate correction by bone lengthen...
