    Miserable malalignment syndrome associated knee pain: a case for infra-tubercle tibial de-rotation osteotomy using an external fixator

    Whereas anterior knee pain remains a common presenting complaint in children, adolescents, and young adult patients, the recognition of lower limb torsional malalignment is often overlooked. It remains an uncommon aetiology compared to conditions …
