Abstract
Externally rotated gait is a hallmark of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) attributed to the change of proximal femur structure. This study investigated the potential role of abnormal tibial torsion in 44 patients with chronic, stable SCFE. Comparison of the tibiae of the involved side with the uninvolved side and with previously published normal values showed no evidence of tibial torsional abnormalities in these patients.
