A case of Gollop-Wolfgang syndrome is reported in which an alternative treatment to amputation was chosen. The patient had the classical Y-shaped femur and total tibial agenesis. The recommended treatment in absence of extensor apparatus is knee disarticulation but the parents refused amputation. An alternative treatment was proposed to allow the child to walk. Tibialisation of the fibula and foot positioning under the fibula was performed with good functional result.
