Rotation and Angulation-Rotation Deformities

Rotation deformity may be defined as angulation around an axial or longitudinal axis. Rotation deformity changes the planar orientation of the reference planes of the hip, knee, and ankle to each other. Lower limb rotation deformities can be assessed clinically and radio-graphically.
