Rotational Analysis of Femur and Tibia with Bilateral Lower Extremity Computed Tomography Measurements: A Retrospective Study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The C-arm method using lateral axis views has also shown high accuracy in predicting CT measurements and preventing postoperative malrotation, with no reported incidence of malrotation greater than 10° (4).Furthermore, the thigh-foot angle and transmalleolar axis are common methods to assess tibial torsion, but their validity may be limited by foot alignment.Overall, CT-based torsion angle calculations remain a reliable indicator of malrotation, with studies showing a higher incidence of misalignment than previously reported, with studies underscoring the importance of accurate rotational assessment and correction in clinical practice (1).
