A Novel Fluoroscopic Method for Assessing Rotational Malalignment of the Tibia

Conclusion: Measuring tibial rotation fluoroscopically using the intermalleolar method is both accurate and reliable. Compared with the previously described mortise method, it has similar accuracy and provides a value that approximates the true tibial rotation. Also, it can be used reliably and effectively intraoperatively to identify tibial malrotation and assist in intraoperative rotational corrections.
