Abstract

1. Internal tibial torsion accompanies club-foot in a fair percentage of cases (17 per cent. in this series).

2. It is a major factor in recurrence of the club-foot deformity.

3. Tibial torsion of 15 degrees or more should be treated surgically after the equinovarus deformity has been corrected.
