Abstract

This chapter divided into three parts first part is on congenital femoral deficiency, the second part is on congenital tibial deficiency and the last parts also discusses on the congenital radial deficiency (radial club hand). Congenital femoral deficiency and proximal focal femoral deficiency describe a broad range of conditions in which the femur is shorter than normal to where there is a discontinuity between the femoral neck and shaft. Tibial hemimelia is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a longitudinal deficiency of the tibia with a relatively intact fibula. Radial club hand or radial hemimelia is a deficiency along the preaxial or radial side of the extremity. Correction of radial club hand requires a combination of nonoperative and operative management that begins shortly after birth. 17 well-colored figures are also presented in this chapter.
