Abstract
In cases of congenital partial tibial aplasia or so-called diastases of the lower leg, very good results are to be expected from tibia/fibula fusion in association with a repositioning of the foot. Form and function of the limb are significantly improved, with ortho-prosthetic fitting being considerably facilitated.
