____________________ is defined as an angle of torsion of the femoral neck-head on the femoral shaft that is greater than 15 ° to 20 °
a. Retroversion
b. Anteversion
c. Coxa valga
d. Coxa vera
ANS: B
The normal angle of femoral torsion in adults is 10 ° to 15 ° but may vary by source to as much as 30 °. This angle is measured by looking at the angle between the axis through the femoral head and neck, and the axis through the femoral condyles. A pathological increase in the angle of torsion is called anteversion.
