Tibial derotation osteotomies are effective in improving pain and function and avoiding hip arthroscopy in patients with hip pain-a short-term follow-up.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective was to determine short-term clinical outcomes following distal tibial derotation osteotomy (DTDO) performed to manage hip pain in the presence of tibial maltorsion and to review how co-existing pathomorphology affected the management. All patients undergoing DTDO for hip pain with tibial rotational deformities recognized as the predominant aetiology were included. Normal tibial torsion range was assumed as 0-40°, measured by trans-malleolar line relative to femoral posterior condyles. All patients had a positive hip impingement test Flexion Adduction Internal Rotation test (FADIR). The patients older than 50 years or presenting with degenerative joint changes and neuromuscular conditions were excluded. Associated ipsilateral MRI-defined intra-articular pathomorphology
