I had knee surgery and its seems that after surgery my tibia is rotated how can that be? i had a chondroplasty done and plica removal.

Cannot be: If you had arthroscopic knee surgery this can not rotate your tibia. Utting the bone (femur or tibia) is the only way to get your leg rotated after surgery. It is more likely that you are walking differently to avoid pain in the knee unconsciously. Phyical therapy and gait training can usually help.

Muscle atrophy.: There's no way that your tibia could become rotated after arthroscopy. You may have muscle atrophy that could be giving it that appearance.
