Symptoms of femoral anteversion
Femoral anteversion results in the rest of the limb rotation, so that the toes point inwards (in-toeing). This can be common in small children who can just gor out of it, but adult patients can experience anterior knee pain from femoral anteversion because of the alteration in forces going through the patella.
