Prone Exam: Femoral Anteversion/Retroversion (Craig's Test)
The Craig's Test is used to determine if femoral anteversion (inward twisting of the femur) is present.

YOUR CHANNEL IS AMAZING
Very well explained and demonstrated! Thanks man. -PTA Student
Oli Mercer... He has it correct. The foot might be moving inwards but you have to think about what is happening at the hip. While the foot might be moving in... the hip is externally rotating
well, now I'm confused and I can't find my lab notes for this test. So, retroversion is <12° (so- something like 6°) angle between neck of the femur and the frontal plane (essentially). This would cause the toes hip to be IR in standing the the toes to point in. This video shows femur in ER and therefore retroversion. Trying to figure this out - so in standing, the grater trochanter would be anterior to the most lateral aspect and therefore during the Craig's test, the femur would be ER in order to bring the greater trochanter laterally. Is that correct?
can you improve your anteversion? or is it just something you deal with?
Thank you
All the ways from Sydney Australia thanks mate... very helpful.. Just 1 thing anteversion causes ext rot of the hip while femoral torsion causes int rot of the hip. Why do we use torsion and anteverts synonumously when they do the opposite... I see it in literature so much but my lecturer says its wrong... Can you plz elaborate... even John Hopkins said anteversion of femur causes intoe-ing but were taught otherwise because femoral torsion causes intoe-ing.. so confusing, so if you could help me out, id love it. thanks
😢Sería bueno que también te traducción en español por favor
Hey mate,
Could someone explain to me what it means for it to be at its "most lateral aspect"?
good
Could someone please explain why retroverted patients has more external than internal rotation ?
Lol it looks like the subject in the video has anteversion from how much IR they have
this video provides incorrect info. that patient, according to his findings, is significantly retroverted....by 25 degrees or more...normal palpation of the GT in it most prominent position would be 10-15 degrees internal rotation....
He keeps saying external rotation but moves the foot inwards. Is that the right way round?
She's dead...yep, definitely dead.
