title: Torsional tibia vara.
abstract: Infantile tibial torsion and tibia vara are common childhood deformities with controversial methods of measurement and treatment. The authors believe that the two deformities are different manifestations of the same entity for which the term "torsional tibia vara" is adopted. A practical method of measurement and a decisive method of conservative treatment are presented for this disorder. The concept as well as the methods of measurement and treatment have been successfully practiced by the senior author (H.Z.) for the past 20 years.
