Tibial / Fibular Hemimelia Treatment in Indore
Tibial / Fibular Hemimelia Treatment in Indore
Tibial/fibular hemimelia is a rare congenital condition characterized by partial or complete absence of the tibia (shinbone) and/or fibula (outer lower leg bone) in one leg. This condition occurs during fetal development when the bones fail to form properly, resulting in limb length discrepancy and structural abnormalities of the affected leg. Tibial/fibular hemimelia can range from mild to severe and may involve additional orthopedic issues such as foot deformities, knee instability, and hip dysplasia. Treatment options depend on the extent of the deformity and may include limb reconstruction surgeries, prosthetic devices, or orthotic interventions to improve function and mobility.
Treatment
Treatment for tibial/fibular hemimelia aims to address the underlying bone deficiency and optimize limb function. In mild cases, conservative management may involve physical therapy and orthotic devices to support the affected limb and promote mobility. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to reconstruct the missing bones and improve limb alignment. Surgical techniques may include limb lengthening procedures, bone grafting, corrective osteotomies, or amputation followed by prosthetic fitting. The goal of treatment is to achieve symmetrical limb lengths, restore joint stability, and enhance overall function and quality of life for the child.
