    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Torsional deformities are common in pediatric lower limbs.
    • Accurate assessment is crucial for appropriate management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a detailed approach for managing torsional deformities.
    • To emphasize the role of observation as the primary treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Localization and quantification of torsional deformity.
    • Review of current management strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Observation is the recommended primary management strategy.
    • Shoe modifications and daytime braces are considered inappropriate.
    • Night splints and operative procedures are rarely indicated.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured observation approach is effective for most torsional deformities.
    • Conservative interventions and surgery have limited roles.
