Femoral Anteversion

Femoral Anteversion is a condition where the femoral neck leans forward with respect to the rest of the femur (long bone in the thigh) causing the leg to rotate inward.
This causes the knee and foot to turn in
All of the abnormalities in the leg cause increased stress on the knee due to the bones not being aligned appropriately.
This can cause pain in the hip, knee or ankle and can wear the joints down over time
It is usually more comfortable to sit in a W-sit (feet going out and knees in, vs sitting crossed legged on the floor) but you want to avoid this as much as you can.
Younger kids often present with no pain.
Physical therapy can assist with improving the control of the musculature and promote improved alignment.
It usually gets worse during times of growth, so the exercises are important to continue to do throughout the growing time.
In severe cases surgery may be needed, but that is rare.
