چکیده
Malformations of the lower limbs are rare and heterogeneous anomalies. Some congenital anomalies involving face, gastrointestinal system, skeletal system, urogenital system, heart, lung and diaphragma associated with lower limb malformations have been described in the literature. Here, we report a case of left proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) together with fibular aplasia associated with left undescended testis and hypospadias. The putative embryologic mechanisms of lower limb defects and their possible association with lower urogenital tract malformations are also discussed.

Proximal femoral focal deficiency associated with the Robin anomalad.
A case of unilateral proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) and the Robin anomalad is reported. Since bilateral PFFD and unusual facies have been reported before, we suggest an association between the Robin anomalad and PFFD.
متن کاملProximal Focal Femoral Deficiency
Proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is a developmental disorder of the proximal segment of the femur and of acetabulum resulting in shortening of the affected limb and impairment of the function. It is a spectrum of congenital osseous anomalies characterized by a deficiency in the structure of the proximal femur. The diagnosis is often made by radiological evaluation which includes identif...
متن کامل[Proximal focal femoral deficiency complicated by a proximal femur fracture].
Proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is a rare skeletal condition characterized by development failure of the subtrochanteric region of the femoral axis, with several degrees of shortening of the proximal region. There are no case reports of patients with this condition associated with a subtrochanteric fracture. We therefore describe herein the case of a newborn patient with clinical and r...
متن کاملProsthetic management 56 years after rotationplasty due to proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD).
Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) is a rare congenital anomaly of the femur. Rotationplasty has been described as a reconstructive procedure in the management of PFFD. A 68-year-old woman with PFFD of the right leg and rotationplasty at the age of 12 years had prosthetic fitting problems after a fall. The authors describe the analysis of the prosthetic fitting problems and the considerat...
متن کاملProximal femoral focal deficiency of the fetus - early 3D/4D prenatal ultrasound diagnosis.
Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD) is a rare congenital syndrome of unknown etiology. Additional disorders can be present up to 70% of PFFD cases. Management (including termination) depends on the severity of the malformation. We present a case of a 32-year-old woman referred for routine ultrasound examination in the 12th week of pregnancy. Detailed 3D/4D evaluation revealed asymmetry of ...
