[Anatomical investigations on the lower leg and foot in cases of hypoplasia and aplasia of the tibia (author's transl)].
Deformities associated with absence or defect of the tibia were investigated on 3 lower legs and feet. In case of bilateral hypoplasia of the tibia, the deformities are nearly identical regarding the muscles and the skeletal system. The main vessels and nerves are developed normally. The extent of malformations seems to be greater in case of aplasia of the tibia. The question, wether some abnormalities typical for a defect of the tibia exist, is discussed. For this our own observations are compared with similar cases described in the literature.
