Reconstructive treatment modalities for congenital femoral deficiencies

Abstract

Congenital femoral deficiencies have a wide spectrum of occurrences ranging from simple hypoplasia to complete femoral aplasia. They are often associated with congenital shortening of the tibia and fibular deficiency. There is no current consensus on the classification and treatment of this entity. Existing classifications are neither prognostic nor helpful in treatment-planning. There are two diverse treatment modalities in the treatment of congenital femoral deficiencies, being prosthetic replacement surgery (Syme amputation or van Nes rotation-plasty followed by prosthetic fitting) and lengthening reconstruction surgery. In this study, biological reconstruction methods in the treatment of congenital femoral deficiencies are reviewed. The results of lengthening reconstruction surgery seem to be superior and more economical than those of prosthetic replacements.
