He was diagnosed by our local pediatrician as having tibial torsion. It is extremely visible. We have taken him to a specialist in Syracuse, New York at the Syracuse University Medical Center. We are concerned that there may be other opinions regarding the use of corrective devices, and don't want this window of opportunity to slip by, as we wait six months at a time.
Tibial torsion is a result of normal positioning of the baby in the tight space of the uterus.
Some degree of tibial torsion is normal throughout infancy. When a child begins to pull to stand, and then to walk independently, tibial torsion usually begins to correct spontaneously. In most children this process is complete within 6 to 12 months after independent walking. Spontaneous correction can continue to occur for years after this. By mid-childhood, a small percentage of children will continue to have significant tibial torsion.
