Introduction

Fibular hemimelia is a congenital lower limb anomaly characterized by the partial or complete absence of the fibula. It includes a spectrum ranging from mild fibular hypoplasia to complete fibular aplasia. Although rare in occurrence, it is the most common congenital absence of long bone of the extremities [1].
