Abstract
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.
