Abstract Most rotational and angulational variations in young children are benign and resolved spontaneously. However, they may cause great concerns to parents. In order to provide a deliberate assessment and management of lower limb rotational and angulational problems, it is necessary for pediatricians to understand the normal variations of lower limb development in healthy children combined with the features of child growth and development and detail physical examinations.
Key words ：
