Figure 2. (Left) Congenital absence of femur and fibula. The deformed leg has a normal foot and ankle joint. It is smaller and less muscular than the lower extremity in the normal leg. Knee and hip joints are absent. Otherwise, the child is well developed and active. (Center) The second type of prosthesis furnished this girl-a well-contoured, nicely fitting apparatus that gives good support. It is tolerated well. (Right) With clothes, the prosthesis is scarcely noticeable. She is a normal, healthy youngster and participates in most activities.
