  2. Coxa vara - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxa_vara

    Shepherd's Crook deformity is a severe form of coxa vara where the proximal femur is severely deformed with a reduction in the neck shaft angle beyond 90 degrees. It is most commonly a sequela of osteogenesis imperfecta , Paget's disease, osteomyelitis, tumour and tumour-like conditions (e.g. fibrous dysplasia ).

  3. Round ligament of uterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_ligament_of_uterus

    The round ligament maintains anteversion of the uterus during pregnancy. [dubious – discuss] Normally, the cardinal ligament is what supports the uterine angle (angle of anteversion). When the uterus grows during pregnancy, the round ligaments can stretch causing pain.

  4. Bone malrotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_malrotation

    Firstly, an anteroposterior (AP) perspective which shows the degree of difference between the femoral neck and femur, and another view where the hips and knees are both flexed to a right angle, which determines antetorsion. Both of these radiographs are utilised to calculate the angle of anteversion of the femoral neck. [3]

  5. Pigeon toe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_toe

    Pigeon toe, also known as in-toeing, is a condition which causes the toes to point inward when walking.It is most common in infants and children under two years of age [1] and, when not the result of simple muscle weakness, [2] normally arises from underlying conditions, such as a twisted shin bone or an excessive anteversion (femoral head is more than 15° from the angle of torsion) resulting ...

  6. Femur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femur

    In the general population without these conditions, the femoral-tibial angle is about 175 degrees. [3] The femur is the largest and thickest bone in the human body. It is considered the strongest bone by some measures, though other studies suggest the temporal bone may be stronger. On average, the femur length accounts for 26.74% of a person's ...

  7. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    Anteversion (from Latin anteversus) describes an anatomical structure being tilted further forward than normal, whether pathologically or incidentally. [49] For example, a woman's uterus typically is anteverted, tilted slightly forward. A misaligned pelvis may be anteverted, that is to say tilted forward to some relevant degree.

  8. Human leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leg

    In humans, female legs generally have greater hip anteversion and tibiofemoral angles, while male legs have longer femur and tibial lengths. [4] In humans, each lower limb is divided into the hip, thigh, knee, leg, ankle and foot. [5] In anatomy, arm refers to the upper arm and leg refers to the lower leg.

  9. Varus deformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varus_deformity

    Hip: coxa vara — the angle between the head and the shaft of the femur is reduced, resulting in a limp. [5] Knee: genu varum (from Latin genu = knee) — the tibia is turned inward in relation to the femur, resulting in a bowlegged deformity. Ankle: talipes varus (from Latin talus = ankle and pes = foot).
