Bilateral fibular hemimelia with recto-vestibular fistula associated with amniotic bands.

ABSTRACT

Fibular Hemimelia is a rare congenital disorder of deficiency to complete absence of fibula. It has been associated with post axial skeletal anomalies like shortening of femur, absence of lateral rays of foot and syndactyle, polydactyle etc. We report this case because of associated amniotic constriction bands over both the forearm, suggesting amniotic bands may be one of the causal factors of Fibular Hemimelia due to insult to the growing limb bud.
