A patient with femoral anteversion will present with which of the following apparent range of motion (ROM)adaptations at the hip?
A) Increased lateral rotation and decreased medial rotation
B) Decreased lateral rotation and increased medial rotation
C) Symmetric lateral and medial rotation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Femoral anteversion is a condition where the femoral neck is rotated anteriorly, causing the head of the femur to face more medially. This will lead to increased medial rotation and decreased lateral rotation at the hip joint. Therefore, the correct answer is choice B, which describes decreased lateral rotation and increased medial rotation. The other choices (A and C) do not accurately reflect the ROM adaptations seen in femoral anteversion.
