The angle of inclination increases
What is the Angle of inclination? What plane is it in?
The angle btwn the neck and the shaft of the femur. ~125 degrees. The frontal plane
What is the angle of torsion?
A line drawn from the head and neck of femur to a line drawn through the femoral condyles
What plane is the angle of torsion in?
