title: Femoral bifurcation associated with tibial aplasia: about 3 cases.
abstract: Femoral bifurcation associated with tibial aplasia of the limb is a very rare pathology. Its radical treatment is a disarticulation of the knee, followed by fitting of a prosthesis. In Benin the reluctance of parents to allow their children to undergo amputation and the access to equipment for the amputated child are a major technical and financial hindrance. Here we report three cases.
