Tibiofibular torsion in normal and treated clubfoot populations.
Tibiofibular torsion was measured in normal and clubfoot populations. A gradual increase, up to skeletal maturity, was demonstrated in normal legs. Lateral tibiofibular torsion was reduced in patients at the completion of clubfoot treatment, and it was concluded that derotation braces did not influence this result.
