The internal tibial torsion which presents as intoeing is a cause of worry to the parents. Medial tibial torsion upto 30 degrees donot cause any functional impairment in an individual. On right side, it was found to be 29.17±4.97 (Range=22.00°–36.00°). The Corresponding values on left side was 28.97±4.55 (Range=22.00°–40.00°). On comparison between the two sides, it was approx. 20 – 30 more on right side. In the present study angle of tibial torsion at distal end was more on right side. The knowledge of tibia torsion is clinically important for gait disturbances characterized by intoeing . Knowledge about this help the orthopedic surgeons , paediatricians, obstetricians, nurses to reassure parents .
