Tibial malrotation represents a complication of tibial shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing.Tibial malrotation has been described as ≥ 10 degrees and the incidence varies from 0 to 41% in the literature.The effect of tibial malrotation on patient outcome ranges from being asymptomatic and having no complications to issues with cosmesis, gait kinematics, joint contact pressures, and osteoarthritis in adjacent joints.Tibial malrotation can be measured with a physical exam, CT scan, or fluoroscopy.In this review, we discuss the literature with regards to the effect of tibial malrotation on patient outcome as well as review methods to measure tibial rotation.
