Coronal Plane Knee Moments Improve After Correcting External Tibial Torsion in Patients With Cerebral Palsy

摘要

BackgroundExternal tibial torsion causes an abnormal axis of joint motion relative to the line of progression with resultant abnormal coronal plane knee moments and affects lever arm function of the foot in power generation at the ankle. However, it is unclear whether surgical correction of the tibial torsion corrects the moments and power.
