title: FIBULAR HEMIMELIA: A RARE CASE REPORT.
abstract: Fibular hemimelia is a rare congenital absence of the fibula that may occur as an isolated anomaly or as a part of a malformation syndrome. Shortening of the extremity is obvious at birth with leg-length discrepancy. On plain radiograph of the leg and foot, significant deficiency or absence of the fibula can be seen. In this case report, a 6 year old boy with fibular hemimelia is presented. Radiological diagnosis and differential diagnosis are discussed.
