What is the normal range of hip medial rotation?

• A. 0-45°
• B. 0-15°
• C. 0-30°
• D. 0-5°

Answer: (A)

Hip medial rotation is the inward turning of the thigh at the hip joint. In healthy adults, the hip can rotate inward up to about 40–45 degrees when the hip is positioned for rotation (commonly with the knee flexed to 90 degrees). That end range is typically summarized as 0–45 degrees. The other options reflect smaller ranges that don’t capture the full normal capacity of the hip’s inward rotation. So 0–45 degrees best represents the normal range.
