Abstract
The authors present a synopsis of a young girl with a congenitally deficient limb who underwent seven corrective surgical procedures and fabrication of a specially designed and constructed prosthesis. The surgical procedures are detailed as is the total rehabilitation approach. The authors have provided plastic laminated orthoses and prostheses to many patients with congenitally deficient upper and lower limbs. An additional paper will detail their experience with a series of plastic laminated orthoses and prostheses in patients with congenitally deficient upper and lower extremities.
