The Novel Use of the Lateral Scanogram to Detect Cruciate Deficiency in Children With Congenital Femoral Deficiency

Congenital femoral deficiency (CFD) is often associated with cruciate ligament deficiency. The lateral scanogram may be a potential solution to some limitations for detecting instability This qualitative case study identified two children congenital who were assessed and had their results correlated the clinical examination MRI. Both cases child deficiency, one total leg length discrepancy (LLD) of 12 cm next 6.5 cm. weight-bearing revealed anterior tibial translation, indicating knee instability. patients will undergo (ACL) reconstruction prior limb lengthening. useful imaging modality that capable thereby instability, in Larger studies utilizing evaluating benefits scanograms are warranted.
