Lower limb rotational profile in children may cause great concern to parents and relatives. In order to give parents clear information, there is a need for referential studies giving normative data of lower limb rotational profile and its normal changes expected over growth. Our aim was to collect a large clinical series of healthy children, out of a clinic, selected from a non-consulting population and to analyse Tibial Torsion and Femoral Anteversion according to age and gender.

Femoral Anteversion was higher in females, and was markedly correlated with age in both genders. There was no significant difference between males and females in Tibial Torsion, nor significant difference between the right side and the left side. Tibial Torsion was slightl
