Doctor: HelloThanks for query Based on the facts that you have posted you have noticed your testicles  rotate about 180 degree around itself (Bell Clapper Deformity)and have fear of getting Torsion of testis .Since Bell Clapper Deformity is easily diagnosed on ultrasound scanning, and your ultrasound Scanning being reported to be you need not worry about getting Torsion of the testis .More over it requires testicle to rotate around  itself with 3-4 twist to get torsion of testis .Dr.Patil.
