    Author: Geipel A, Berg C, Germer U, Krokowski M, Smrcek J, Gembruch U.
    Journal: Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol; 2003 Jul; 22(1):79-81. PubMed ID: 12858309.
    Abstract:
    We describe the prenatal sonographic diagnosis of femur-fibula-ulna complex at 20 weeks of gestation. On targeted ultrasound examination, a severe malformation of the lower limbs was observed. Further sonographic exploration demonstrated bilateral asymmetrical femoral hypoplasia, hypoplasia of both tibiae, bilateral aplasia of the fibulae and oligosyndactyly of the right hand with absence of the 4th and 5th rays. The prenatal sonographic features and differential diagnosis are discussed.
