Q

Why is leg deformed in fracture neck of femur?

A

Shortened, abducted and externally rotated with inability to SLR

due to unopposed pull of muscles on lesser trochanter (iliopsoas sartorius etc causes shortening, gluteus maximus obturators and piriformis ie short muscles of gluteal region cause rotation)
