| Abstrakt: | Tibial deficiency (also known as tibial hemimelia) is a rare condition with variable presentation. A 2-month-old patient presented with absent bilateral tibias. When the patient was 1 year, a novel reconstructive surgery was done. A bilateral fibular resection with pedicled calcaneus transfer was done, allowing for transfer of the calcaneus along with the overlying glabrous skin and soft tissues to the end of the femur. The patient was permitted to weight-bear after the 4-week postoperative follow-up. At the six-month follow-up, the patient was able to pull to stand and walk with assistance without any reports of pain. (Copyright © 2022 The Authors.
