Abstract
We experienced two patients with congenital bilateral absence of the fibula.
Case 1; A 8-month-old boy with bilateral clubfeet at birth, associated with anterior bowing of the both tibiae. Instead of the fibula, the fibrous band developed at the lateral side of the tibia. Soft tissue release operation and Achilles tendon lengthning were applied to correct the foot deformity.
Case 2; A 3-year-old girl with the anterior tibial angulation, talipes valgus and the left leg was 2.5cm shorter than the right one. This patient was treated with plaster cast and prosthesis.
