This study presents a rare case of lower limb malformations in a newborn, including femoral bifurcation and absent fibulae and talar bones. The findings suggest defects in both fibular and tibial developmental fields, highlighting complex limb anomalies.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Medical imaging

Background:

  • Lower limb malformations are rare and diverse congenital anomalies.
  • The concept of tibial and fibular developmental fields helps explain these abnormalities.
  • Previous reports on such complex defects are limited in radiology literature.

Observation:

  • A newborn presented with femoral bifurcation, absent fibulae, and absent talar bones.
  • Associated ankle and foot malformations were noted.
  • An atrial septal defect was also observed in the patient.

Findings:

  • The presented case exhibits characteristics of defects in both the fibular and tibial developmental fields.
  • This case represents a complex manifestation of limb developmental field anomalies.

  • The combination of anomalies is exceptionally rare.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of lower limb malformation etiology.
    • It underscores the importance of considering developmental field defects in congenital limb anomalies.
    • Further research into developmental fields may aid in diagnosing and managing these rare conditions.
