title: Anatomic considerations of the foot and leg in tibial hemimelia.
abstract: Five lower extremities from four patients with tibial hemimelia were available for dissection. Multiple tendon anomalies were present. The ankle articulation was found to have a nonfunctional uniplanar motion. Multiple coalitions of the osseous structures of the foot were found, with subtalar coalition the most common.
