Key result
Excessive femoral anteversion in patients with unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip was associated with significantly higher tibial torsion compared to normal femoral anteversion (p=0.000).

Does excessive femoral anteversion influence tibial torsion in patients with unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip?
p-value: p=0.000
Patients with DDH and excessive femoral anteversion have higher tibial torsion, which should be considered before surgical treatment.
Cho et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) (n=38). Excessive femoral anteversion vs. Normal femoral anteversion was evaluated on Tibial torsion and tibial torsion side-to-side difference (p=0.000). Excessive femoral anteversion in patients with unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip was associated with significantly higher tibial torsion compared to normal femoral anteversion (p=0.000).
