Abstract

Fibular hemimelia is defined as a partial or complete absence of the fibula. Alongside fibular deformities, there is a wide spectrum of anomalies, foot deformities, and absent rays. A literature review showed only a handful of cases of prenatal diagnosis of fibular hemimelia. It is a rare disorder that might be isolated or associated with visceral anomalies.
