A member asked:
Was both with femoral anteversion. it hasn't correct on my right leg and causes me embarrassment and discomfort. what can be done about it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: Femoral anteversion is a rotational abnormality if the hip that causes the person to walk with the foot pointed in. In an 18 year old the only choices are to live with it or have surgery. That being said, it would have to be pretty severe to have surgery for because the surgery involves breaking the femur, rotating the femur, and then applying a plate and screws, a very painful procedure.
