  • Title: Femoral bifurcation with ipsilateral tibia hemimelia: early outcome of ablation and prosthetic fitting.
    Author: Orimolade EA, Ikem IC, Oginni LM, Odunsi AO.
    Journal: Niger J Clin Pract; 2011; 14(4):492-4. PubMed ID: 22248958.
    Abstract:
    Femoral bifurcation and tibia hemimelia are rare anomalies. Hereby, we present a case report of a 2-year-old boy who first presented in our orthopedic clinic as a 12-day-old neonate, with a grossly deformed right lower limb from a combination of complete tibia hemimelia and ipsilateral femoral bifurcation. Excision of femoral exostosis, knee disarticulation and prosthetic fitting gives satisfactory early outcome.
