Examination of the hip begins by observing the patient's stance and gait. The patient should stand in front of the examiner so that the anterior iliac spines are visible. If pelvic tilt or obliquity is present, it may be related to a structural scoliosis, anatomic leg length discrepancy, or hip disease. 2, record 4, English, - pelvic%20obliquity

Déséquilibre du bassin dans le plan frontal dont la cause peut être une inégalité de longueur des membres inférieurs, une paralysie ou une rétraction des muscles de la ceinture pelvienne, ou une subluxation ou une luxation paralytique de la hanche. Ce déséquilibre est souvent accompagné d'une hyperlordose quand la rétraction des fléchisseurs de la hanche est prédominante. On distingue dans ces obliquités du bassin des causes inférieures et des causes supérieures. 2, record 4, French, - obliquit%C3%A9%20du%20bassin

While the patient is supine, measurement for leg length discrepancy is performed with the legs fully extended. To detect true leg length discrepancy, each leg is measured from the anterior superior iliac spine to the medial malleolus.... An apparent leg length discrepancy may result from pelvic tilt or abduction or adduction contractures of the hip. 1, record 5, English, - leg%20length%20discrepancy

L'inégalité de longueur des membres inférieurs est l'un des problèmes les plus fréquemment rencontrés en orthopédie [...]. On ne pourra parler d'inégalité de longueur du membre inférieur que lorsque la longueur réelle des divers segments osseux constituant le squelette des membres inférieurs sera différente à droite et à gauche. [...] En effet, une attitude vicieuse existant au niveau de l'une quelconque des grandes articulations du membre inférieur va entraîner une différence de longueur apparente, fonctionnelle, qui disparaîtra totalement avec la correction de cette ou de ces attitudes vicieuses (exemples : luxation de hanche, rétraction en abduction ou en inversion, ou en flexum ou recurvatum du genou, équin du pied). 1, record 5, French, - in%C3%A9galit%C3%A9%20de%20longueur%20des%20membres%20inf%C3%A9rieurs
