Abstract
Anatomical variation is discovered frequently in humans, and much such variation in the musculoskeletal system has been reported. We present a rare case of unilateral congenital patellar tendon aplasia with concomitant apparent shortness of the bilateral halluces as a result of shortened first metatarsals as an anatomical variant.
