Very slim odd...: In medicine, it is a common belief to have familial trend to develop the same disorder. But, I would not think, talk, worry about such in your children since, if any, it should very low and nothing could be done with it. All what you have to do is be diligently and vigilantly aware of how testicular torsion may happen so to seek timely evaluation & counseling. That is all we can do in life reality
