Bilateral congenital absence of the fibula

R Berenter, J Morris and B Yee
Department of Biomechanics, California College of Podiatric Medicine, San Francisco 94115.

The syndrome caused by congenital absence of the fibula has a number of pathologic abnormalities frequently associated with it, which are illustrated by the case reported. Postsurgical therapy on the involved extremity should take into account the patient's lack of joint motion within the tarsal region. With this in mind, special shoes or accommodative insoles, alone or in combination, should be prescribed in order to facilitate an increase in weightbearing activity with minimal discomfort.
