Abstract

Rotational deformities are common lower extremity abnormalities in children with cerebral palsy, which include intoeing and outtoeing. Intoeing is caused by one of the three types of deformity: increased femoral anteversion, internal tibial torsion, and metatarsus varus, while outtoeing, the less common form, is caused by femoral retroversion and external tibial torsion. An accurate diagnosis should be made with careful physical and radiographic examination.

Özet

Rotasyonel deformiteler beyin felçli çocuklarda yaygın olarak görülen, içe dönük ve dışa dönük yürümeyi içeren alt ekstremite anormallikleridir. İçe dönük yürüme üç tür deformitenin birinden kaynaklanır: artmış femoral anteversiyon, internal tibial torsiyon ve metatarsus varus; daha nadir görülen dışa dönük yürüme ise femoral retroversiyon ve eksternal tibial torsiyondan kaynaklanır. Dikkatli fizik ve radyografik inceleme ile doğru tanı konmalıdır.
