“…This is due to a torsional effect on the epiphysis, which produces a spiral lengthening of the bone through the long axis. The resulting torsion is postural-partly due to the tendency of the child to lie supine with feet and legs rotated outwards and partly due to the increased base of support resulting from standing with the feet pointing outward [15][16][17]. External tibial torsion presents at all ages and does not show a tendency to decrease.…”

“…During growth there is a development towards external torsion of the leg, i.e., the medial malleolus rotates forward in relation to the lateral malleolus [4,8,13]. In the literature, great variations in the degree of leg torsion in the adult have been reported.…”

In this study, the association between increased femoral anteversion and external torsion of the leg was investigated by computed tomography in adults. In a control group of 15 women, the anteversion angle of the femoral neck measured 11 degrees +/- 9 degrees and 12 degrees +/- 9 degrees for the right and left sides, respectively. The external torsion of the leg was 40 degrees +/- 8 degrees and 39 degrees +/- 10 degrees, respectively. The patient group consisted of 16 women who were evaluated for clinical symptoms related to increased femoral anteversion. In this group, the femoral anteversion was 31 degrees +/- 7 degrees and 33 degrees +/- 7 degrees for the right and left sides, respectively, and the external torsion of the leg was 35 degrees +/- 10 degrees and 33 degrees +/- 12 degrees, respectively. There were no correlations between the degree of femoral anteversion and the degree of external torsion of the leg. This study indicates that in cases of increased femoral anteversion, compensatory external torsion of the leg does not develop regularly during growth.

“…The tibial torsion has been investigated in anatomical and clinical studies (Le Damany 1909, Hutter 1949, Staheli & Engel 1972. The results indicate a neutral torsion of the tibia at birth, i.e.…”

“…It is difficult to suggest how the natural development of the torsion would have been in the operated patients with insufficient external rotation of the hip joint. Development of tibial torsion progresses most rapidly in the first years of life (Staheli & Engel 1972). Thus, if compensatory torsion of the tibia is a constant feature with increased anteversion of the femoral neck, it should have developed in most of the patients prior to operation time, and a corresponding regression should have taken place during late childhood.…”
