Its measurement is originally described on fully extended legs in torsional computed tomography\/magnetic resonance imaging (CT\/MRI). The aim of this study was to investigate whether the measurement of iaTF rotation is reliably possible in routine MRIs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Patients who underwent torsional MRI (torMRI) and routine MRI (rouMRI) of the knee were retrospectively analysed. iaTF rotation corresponds to the angle between a tangent to the dorsal femoral condyles and a tangent to the dorsal tibial plateau in the axial plane (positive values indicating external\u2010\/negative values internal rotation). In rouMRI, the flexion angle between the bony axes in the sagittal plane was measured. Spearman correlation coefficient (r\n                      <jats:sub>S<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated assessing the agreement of iaTF rotation between imaging modalities. Cases showing a deviation of 3\u00b0 or less were summarised as \u201cgroup\u2010with\u2010good\u2010agreement\u201d. Sensitivity and specificity for assignment to the group\u2010with\u2010good\u2010agreement based on the flexion were calculated using ROC\u2010analysis.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      90 cases (78 patients, age 25.6\u2009\u00b1\u20099.6 years) were included. iaTF rotation was 5.7\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20096.7\u00b0 in torMRI and 1.0\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20098.0\u00b0 in rouMRI. The measurements differed by an absolute value of 6.4\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20094.6\u00b0. Strong positive correlation (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>s<\/jats:sub>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.591;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and moderate agreement (ICC\u2009=\u20090.688) were calculated between iaTF rotation measurements. Flexion in rouMRI (7.1\u2009\u00b1\u20096.1\u00b0) correlated moderately positively with the difference in iaTF rotation between torMRI and rouMRI. The group\u2010with\u2010good\u2010agreement showed a significantly lower flexion (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.022). Assuming that lower flexion in rouMRI predicts good agreement, the ROC analysis yielded a threshold of 4.65\u00b0 flexion (model quality\u2009=\u20090.53). For cases below the threshold, sensitivity was 74.2% and specificity 54.5% for correct assignment to the group\u2010with\u2010good\u2010agreement.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
