Hi there! I actually have femoral anterversion and recently when under surgery to fix it! I’m a 14 year old girl and had it done a scottish rite. This surgery was pretty painful the first 2-3 weeks but after it was just small muscle spasms, soreness, or maybe some pain in the scars. Thanks for this video ma’am!
@@tyrese5089 yes! it did! 4 months post op and i am walking five decides some minor limping. getting my second leg done in about 2 months! do you have any questions? or need to know anything that helped me after surgery?
Great video, well explained and you have a nice narrative voice. This is a confusing concept and difficult to visualise without your explanation and diagrams. It would be much easier for people to understand if they named it something like distal femur external rotation but since when was medicine easy!
how does having the femoral head more forward (anteversion) not externally rotate the leg? I guess I'm having trouble picturing this. Can you please re-explain this in another way? Also, the video was extremely clear and quick to the point, I loved it!
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.
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. 🌿😊
Oğlumda sol tarafta femoral retroversiyon mevcut, 10 yaşında ve yeni gelişti ya da son zamanlarda arttı ve biz yeni fark ettik. Bu rahatsızlık için bir tedavi yöntemi var mı, düzelmesi için neler yapılabilir
Hey there, thanks for the video! I have very retroverted hips - an MRI showed my FNA to be -5 for the left hip and -3 for the right hip. What knock on impacts would this be expected to have on someone? I have a variety of aches and pains in my lower body and I'm trying to gauge how much of this is due to my retroversion. Trying to run has given me shin splints and plantar fasciitis and I also get pain in my hips and back. I'm also wondering if retroversion would cause difficulty doing core exercises?
As an orthopaedic surgery resident, I thank you for this excellent explanation.
Thank you for your kind words. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this great explanation, i really appreciate your efforts
You’re welcome! I’m glad i could help. 😊

@@emmalee8243 You’re welcome. Get well soon!
I’m so jealous of you I’m 18 and I’ve been dealing with this insecurity since I was in elementary school.
@@Daughterdaughters well i hope you are able to get the surgery soon! Good luck!
@@emmalee8243 did the surgery work out for you?

Woow, that was very clear. Thank you and thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you!
If your internel and externel rotation is within normal paramteter could yo still have such condtions?
Excessive anteversion Can be cured and healed at 30 years old?
thank u . very clear
You're welcome! 😚
Thanks
What if my hips and knees go outwards, not inwards when walking and running

@@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?
Subscribed and followed on IG. Good illustration.
Thanks!
Can I but more than one like ? Was great👌🏽Thx
I'm glad I could help. You're welcome!

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

You're welcome. I'm sorry, but I'm not giving medical advice. My videos are for educational purposes only.
Helloooo. Are you a med student ?
