Internal tibial torsion

ITT is the most common cause of in-toeing. It is often bilateral [C]. Unilateral ITT is most common on the left side [D]. Observational management is best. Fillauer or Denis Browne night splints are commonly prescribed, but have no long-term value; resolution occurs with or without treatment. Avoid daytime bracing and shoe modifications because they can slow the child's running and may harm the child's self-image.
