Abstract
Measurements of tibial torsion using a tropometer were made in more than 1200 consecutive patients attending an adult knee clinic. In total 1672 readings from 836 patients in 11 diagnostic categories were analysed. Patients with either patellofemoral instability or Osgood-Schlatter disease had a significant increase in lateral tibial torsion. The most important finding was a significant reduction in this torsion in patients with panarticular disease.
