Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has ever had a child patient, lacking Quadriceps on the right leg and thus the right leg is stunted in growth and thus shorter.
This patient is 8 years old and the parents only noticed this 1 year ago when he was swimming and thus the difference in the size of the upper legs was noticed.
On examination there is a large leg length difference and it appears that the Right femur and tibia are definitely shorter on the right than left. A Paediatrian diagnosed that there was problem with the femoral nerve, and thus there was no stimulation for the quads to grow and the bones? He has normal sensation in the lower leg and foot.
I would really appreciate any advice or hearing of any experiences anyone else has had with a similar case.
Thank you for your time.
Kind Regards
