Pediatr Radiol. 1994;24(3):220-1. doi: 10.1007/BF02012199.

Abstract

Fibular agenesis/hypoplasia is the most common reduction malformation affecting the long bones. Agenesis of both the fibulae, however, is rare, and its occurrence in four consecutive pregnancies has not been reported so far. We report our experience with one such case.
