The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ipsilateral congenital musculoskeletal anomalies associated with fibular hemimelia. We also attempted to determine the corelation between the eventual limb length discrepancy at maturity and these associated anomalies, as well as the Achterman-Kalamchi class of these patients. The records and roentgenograms of 45 patients with fibular hemimelia were reviewed retrospectively. All patients were classified into three groups (types I-A, I-B, and II) according to the Achterman-Kalamchi system. The prevalence of congenital limb anomalies, lower extremity discrepancy percentage, and ultimate limb length discrepancy at skeletal maturity were evaluated. There was no significant statistical association between the number of congenital limb anomalies and severity of the limb length discrepancy, but patients included in the mildly affected group (type I-A) had a higher average prevalence of congenital limb anomalies than those classified as types I-B and II. There was a substantial correlation between congenital short femur as well as the Achterman-Kalamchi classification system and the predicted limb length discrepancy. A similar percentage of limb length discrepancy in types I-B and II was seen. In conclusion, the numbers of associated congenital limb anomalies are not predictive of the eventual limb length discrepancy. Presence of a congenital short femur and ball and socket ankle are predictive of a higher limb length discrepancy. Achterman-Kalamchi types I-B and II show a similar percentage of limb length discrepancy and this is significantly higher than that seen in type I-A.
本研究的目的是确定与腓骨半肢畸形相关的同侧先天性肌肉骨骼异常的患病率。我们还试图确定成熟时最终肢体长度差异与这些相关异常之间的相关性,以及这些患者的阿赫特曼-卡拉姆奇分类。对45例腓骨半肢畸形患者的记录和X线片进行了回顾性分析。根据阿赫特曼-卡拉姆奇系统,所有患者被分为三组(I-A型、I-B型和II型)。评估了先天性肢体异常的患病率、下肢差异百分比以及骨骼成熟时最终肢体长度差异。先天性肢体异常的数量与肢体长度差异的严重程度之间没有显著的统计学关联,但轻度受累组(I-A型)患者先天性肢体异常的平均患病率高于I-B型和II型患者。先天性股骨短小以及阿赫特曼-卡拉姆奇分类系统与预测的肢体长度差异之间存在显著相关性。I-B型和II型的肢体长度差异百分比相似。总之,相关先天性肢体异常的数量不能预测最终的肢体长度差异。先天性股骨短小以及球窝踝关节的存在可预测更高的肢体长度差异。阿赫特曼-卡拉姆奇I-B型和II型显示出相似的肢体长度差异百分比,且这一比例显著高于I-A型。
