ABSTRACT:
A molded plastic orthosis for treating tibial torsion in children without twisting the femur or hip, and which is adjustable to accommodate the growth of the child's leg. The orthosis is made of two braces, a first brace which embraces the tibia and the foot, and a second brace embracing the upper end of the tibia and the femur with the knee in flexed position. The tibial portion of the second brace overlaps the tibia portion of the first brace, and the overlapping portions are surfaced with Velcro fasteners for adjustably locking the two braces against rotation.
