    Intoeing and Your Child: a focus on internal tibial torsion
    (2009-09-16) Meyer, Sonali Rajan
    It is not necessary to treat in-toeing as a result of medial tibial torsion in children under the age of 8, as tibiae rotate laterally as children grow. If a severe cosmetic or functional deformity persists after age 8, or if the angle of rotation at that time is greater than three standard deviations from the mean (more negative than -15 degrees), then surgical intervention may be considered.
