To evaluate the relationship between measurements of tibial torsion and specific knee joint pathologies in adult clinic attendees.
Measured tibial torsion using a tropometer across more than 1,200 consecutive patients visiting an adult knee clinic.
Analyzed 1,672 readings obtained from 836 patients categorized into 11 distinct diagnostic groups.
Patients with patellofemoral instability or Osgood-Schlatter disease demonstrated a significant increase in lateral tibial torsion.
Patients with panarticular knee disease showed a significant reduction in lateral tibial torsion.
