Summary
Congenital bifid femur, a rare condition, was successfully treated in two identical cases. Patients regained full mobility after surgery and prosthetic fitting, walking unaided.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Pediatric Surgery
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Congenital bifid femur is a rare developmental anomaly.
- Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal outcomes.
Observation:
- Two identical cases of congenital bifid femur presented.
- The anomaly involved a longitudinal division of the femur.
Findings:
- Both patients underwent successful surgical correction.
- Custom-fitted prostheses were utilized for rehabilitation.
Implications:
- Simple surgical techniques combined with prosthetics can effectively manage congenital bifid femur.
- Restoration of unaided ambulation is achievable, significantly improving quality of life.
