Femoral torsion and its relation to toeing-in and toeingout. Most femoral torsion problems are evaluated with computerized tomography (CT). If the knee axis and patella align medially in quiet stance, we look for pelvic rotation, soft tissue restriction on lateral hip rotation, and evidence of abnormally increased medial femoral torsion (see tests 2-4). |
