Proximal focal femoral deficit managed with limb reconstruction system: A rare case report
Author(s): Dr. Pravendra Singh, Dr. Harsh Kumar, Dr. Jashandeep Singh Chahal and Dr. Palak Gupta
Abstract: Proximal femoral focal deficit (PFFD) is a rare congenital condition with varying absence of proximal femoral segment associated with shortening of the entire lower limb. We report a case of a 15-year-old female having PFFD with significant shortening of the right limb, and lengthening was achieved through the limb reconstruction system (LRS). Reporting a case of PFFD is a considerable entity due to its rare occurrence. Thus, we report this case in which the patient underwent successful lengthening of the right lower limb. Limb lengthening using the Limb reconstruction system is a successful attempt in patients with limb length discrepancy due to PFFD.
