What is normal hip inclination?
125-130*
Features of Coxa Valga? (3)
- increased angle of inclination
- less bending force
compression is more straight
Features of Coxa Vara
- decreased angle of inclination
- increased bending force
- increased moment arm for abduction
Describe normal torsion of the femur.
The femoral head and neck are rotated ~10–15* ant and lateral to an angle through the femoral condyles.
Describe Anteversion
whenever the angle of torsion is increased beyond normal.
Describe retroversion.
When the angle of torsion of the head of the femur is less than (15*).
may still be rotated relative to zero.
what compensation may accompany excessive anteversion ?
excessive “in toeing” or IR at the hip.
The hip ligaments as a whole tend to limit what movement(s)?
extension and internal rotation
