Abstract

Congenital lower extremity shortening is part of a group of infrequent disorders, together with proximal femoral deficiency, tibial and fibular hemimelia. It can manifest as a mild form of hypoplasia to a complete lack of the bone, with variable degrees of shortening and with an evident start since birth. In this pictorial review, we will describe cases of fibular and tibial hemimelia seen at San Ignacio University Hospital in the last years. The main imaging findings are described in X ray and MRI.
