Robert Forstag (asker) Dec 14, 2009:
To be entirely honest... ...I do not know to whom to fairly award the points to. Intuitively, I would think that "antetorsion" is correct, and there are certainly plenty of hits for it on the internet. It would be helpful if some medical professionals would weigh in on this.

I don't mean to be pedantic about the matter. I just don't want to be unfair.

physiological femoral anteversion


Femoral anteversion (syn. inset hip; femoral torsion).
The normal hip joint at maturity has a similar degree of external and internal rotation.
In this condition children have considerably increased internal and decreased external rotation. Examine in extension with patient prone.
These children often sit in so-called “TV position.
...
1. In-toeing is usually present.
2 2
. Compensatory valgus deviation of the feet may develop “Flat feet.”
3 3
. Knock-knee in older children and adults is almost always due to this excessive
physiological anteversion.

Q: Vince, let's start with intoeing. What should we do about it?

A: It can be caused by femoral anteversion, internal tibial torsion and metatarsus varus or adductus. Femoral anteversion is measured by the number of degrees of internal and external rotation at the hip.

...that anteversion and antetorsion are really synonymous, so according to the expert, referring to a pathological degree of anteversion/antetorsion should require a modifier, such as "excessive" or "abnormal". From the discussion in that source and some of the Internet usage I see, some writers want "anteversion" to refer to the normal condition of the femur (which is somewhat anteverted) and reserve "antetorsion" for a pathological (abnormal or excessive) degree of forward twisting.
I find some use of such modifiers along this line BUT, apparently the majority of people in the field just 'know' you are referring to an excessive degree when they see it in context (and that is logical). The WHO ICD-10 list (posted elsewhere) uses "anteversion" without a modifier, so I guess it isn't strictly needed. Thanks to David Brown (above), whose finds helped me find what I did.

Antetorsion and anteversion

Femoral anteversion (FV) is the angle of the femoral neck anterior to the femoral shaft in the coronal plane, that affects the rotation of the hip joint. Femoral antetorsion (FT) is an increase in the angle of the head and neck of the femur relative to the femoral condyles.

I am not a medical doctor but in my opinion "antetorsion" is not common in English. "Internal torsion" appears to used much more for this condition.
This reference is from an article published in a British Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, by native English authors.
I say this because many references in Google are translations into English.

the terms 'anteversion' and 'internal femoral torsion' could be used synonymously. Uncompensated significant internal femoral version (marked femoral ...

If you are wondering who to give the points to, "anteversion" would be my choice (Sorry, Liz)
