85% resolve spontaneously.
For the 15%: Stretching/ observation casts reverse last shoes surgery last resort |
|
tibial torsion: tx
|
Improves with growth, usually by 5 years old.
Surgery rarely needed. Bracing is ineffective. |
|

growth disorder of the shin bone (tibia) in which the lower leg turns inward, resembling a bowleg. Symptoms: One or both of the lower legs turn inward. This is called "bowing."
