INCREASED THICKNESS OF THE FIBULA IN DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY

VIVIAN J. HARRIS M.D.1 and WILLARD S. HARRIS M.D.2

1 Assistant Professor of Radiology
2 Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology

1. A frequent finding in Duchenne muscular dystrophy is increased thickness of the fibula in an anteroposterior direction, usually involving most of the diaphysis.

2. The relationship between the fibula and tibia may be expressed as the fibula/tibia (F/T) ratio. An F/T ratio above 0.70 is abnormal.

3. The fibula is normal in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who are under the age of 5 years.

4. The F/T ratio in limb girdle dystrophy often is also abnormally large.
