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.
