    Abstract:
    The extremely rare Werner syndrome (tibial hemimelia, foot polydactyly, triphalangeal thumbs) is represented by an own case: a 21 year old female has been treated since her birth in the orthopedic department of Homburg/Saar university clinic. First, during several operative sessions, there was the correction of the bilateral completely webbed fingers and the resection of the supernumerary toes. Because of tibial hypoplasia there was need of bilateral operative club-foot-correction, too. Presentation of the course over 20 years with clinical and roentgenological late results. In several publications we find different classifications of the collective name, tibial hemimelia'; the symptom-triade congenital tibia-defect/foot-polydactyly/triphalangeal thumb was of special interest.
