Femoral Anteversion and Retroversion Angles (Clinical Hip Anatomy) 

You’re welcome! I’m glad i could help. 😊

Thank you!

To understand why in femoral anteversion the legs are rotated internally, you should remember how the femur is anatomically positioned. In the normal anatomical stance, the distal part of the femur is relatively more internally oriented compared to the proximal part. Now, when we consider femoral anteversion, where the femoral head and neck rotate forward within the hip socket: 1. The caput femoris (head of the femur) turns anteriorly, leaning forward within the acetabulum. 2. Due to the inherent anatomy where the distal part of the femur is initially in an internal position, this anterior movement of the femoral head causes the distal part of the femur to move further internally. 3. The overall effect is an internal rotation of the femur, influencing the position of the entire leg. With femoral anteversion, the leg tends to adopt an internally rotated position, where the toes may turn more inward, reflecting the rotation of the femur. This interplay between the anterior rotation of the femoral head, the pre-existing internal orientation of the distal femur, and the associated muscle actions contributes to the observed internal rotation of the entire femur and leg in cases of femoral anteversion.

You're welcome! 😚

Thanks!

Öncelikle geçmiş olsun. Üzgünüm ama tıbbi tavsiye vermiyorum. Videolarım sadece eğitim amaçlı.

Nurcan Hanım tedavisi var. Benim oğlumda iki bacağı açık yürüyor. İçeri döndüremiyor. Ameliyat olması gerek. Bakılması lazım acetabulum ve femur

Anatomically, it would be more correct to say femur instead of hip. We actually need to describe the position of the femur relative to the knee. Basically, if the femur is turned outward (backward) relative to the knee, this is defined as femoral retroversion. In other words, we cannot talk about a situation such as the case of both femur and knee turning out from a biomechanical point of view. Since the hip, thigh bone, knee and foot are connected to each other, we examine their relative movements relative to each other or to its own neutral axis. In the video, I explained the femoral retroversion in detail, you can take a look. 🌿😊

@@TheAnatomistElif Ah ok I understand what your saying. I'll probably then go to a hip consultant here in Dublin where I am. Thanks

@@owenjames8854 did you get a diagnosis?

You're welcome. I'm sorry, but I'm not giving medical advice. My videos are for educational purposes only.
