Tibial Hemimelia explained Tibial Hemimelia is a partial or total absence of the tibia and is the rarest form of lower limb deficiency present at birth. [stepsworldwide.org]

The findings of intercondylar dysplasia, absent tibial spines and absent cruciate ligaments are characteristic, but not always present. [eurorad.org]

In case of syndromic presentation, prognosis depends on the nature of the associated anomalies. [orpha.net]

  RESULTS: In two patients with type Ia, one patient could bear weight without gait aids, the other walked with orthosis and axillary crutch because this patient had bilateral Ia type and knee instability with progressive flexion contracture due to weakness [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  This modification avoided loss of push-off strength and development of a supination midfoot deformity that can occur with weakness that results from lengthening of the Achilles and peroneal tendons, respectively [12]. [encyclopedia.pub]

• Asymptomatic

  FH can be asymptomatic, but is usually obvious at birth with limb shortening and limb length discrepancy [3]. It may be detected antenatally during obstetric ultrasound. [eurorad.org]

  This is often asymptomatic in childhood but can become more problematic as the child grows. [encyclopedia.pub]

  The final result was that 16 feet were plantigrade, stable and asymptomatic, and five had residual valgus with stiffness, requiring an orthosis to alleviate the symptoms. [link.springer.com]

  The dislocation is asymptomatic. The authors offer two possible explanations for the phenomenon: deficiency of the ligamentous structures, or unopposed action of the biceps brach-ialis muscle. They consider the latter explanation the more likely. [oandplibrary.org]
