Fibular hemimelia is the most common cause of congenital bone deficiency of lower extremities. It is first described by Gollier in 1698. Most cases are sporadic, but genetic transition has also been and most of them are inherited in an autosomal recessive father. In addition to the complete absence or hypoplasia of fibula, angulation and shortening of the tibia, lower leg length differences, the coalition of tarsal bones, the absence of some fingers and toes, equinovalgus or equinovarus deformity can be seen. In this study, we aimed to present the radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of two sisters with the diagnosis of fibular hemimelia and two members of their families. Fibular hemimelia should be considered in children with gait disturbance, lower extremity deformities, growth problems and their families also be investigated about other cases having similar problems.
