Fibular hemimelia is a rare congenital disorder with partial or complete absence of the fibula. It is usually associated with other osseous and soft tissue abnormalities of the knee joint and lower limb. Here we report an interesting case of fibular hemimelia diagnosed incidentally with characteristic radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging MRI findings in the knee joint and lower limb. The radiologists need to be aware of the typical features and associations of fibular hemimelia so as to be able to guide further orthopaedic management in these patients.
腓骨半侧发育不全是一种罕见的先天性疾病,表现为腓骨部分或完全缺失。它通常与膝关节和下肢的其他骨骼及软组织异常相关。在此,我们报告一例有趣的腓骨半侧发育不全病例,该病例通过膝关节和下肢典型的影像学及磁共振成像(MRI)表现得以偶然诊断。放射科医生需要了解腓骨半侧发育不全的典型特征及关联情况,以便能够指导这些患者进一步的骨科治疗。
