  • Title: Systematic radiographic evaluation of tibial hemimelia with orthopedic implications.
    Author: Kaplan-List K, Klionsky NB, Sanders JO, Katz ME.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2017 Apr; 47(4):473-483. PubMed ID: 28050636.
    Abstract:
    Tibial hemimelia is a rare lower-extremity pre-axial longitudinal deficiency characterized by complete or partial absence of the tibia. The reported incidence is 1 in 1 million live births. In this pictorial essay, we define tibial hemimelia and describe associated conditions and principles of preoperative imaging assessment for a child with tibial hemimelia. We also indicate the imaging findings that might influence the choice of treatment, describe the most widely used classification systems, and briefly discuss current treatment approaches.
