Abstract
Also called as split hand/foot malformation with long bone deficiency, aplasia tibia and ectrodactyly is an extremely rare and isolated trait with degree of deficiency of tibia and fibula occurring at an incidence of 1: 1,000,000 live births. We report a case of a 9 year old boy who presented with unilateral lower limb malformation along with ectrodactyly.
Key Words: Split Hand/Foot Malformation- Tibial Aplasia – Plain Radiographs.
