Abstract

Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire coined the term “hemimelia” in the early 19th century, while in 1951, O'Rahilly suggested the term “paraxial hemimelia” for the longitudinal variety, because either the preaxial or postaxial side of the limb is involved.The deficiency can be transverse, longitudinal and sometimes combination of both. This case report highlights the finding of a case of ulnar intercalary hemimelia with multiple bilateral exostoses of the knee and the rehabilitation potential for the same.
