what is excessive anteversion associated with
1) congenital dislocation
2) marked joint incongruence
3) increased wear on articular cartilage
4) "in toeing" in children
what is "in-toeing" in children
excessive anteversion--- causing a walking pattern with exaggerated hip IR acting as a compensation for an anteverted femoral head
if "in-toeing" in children is not addressed what are possible consequences

do kids with "intoeing" walk normally ever
eventually 50% walk normal, gait pattern improves because of structural compensation in lower extermity and tibia

withstand large external loads--- dense and unyielding tissue
where is compact bone located in teh femur
thick in the cortex of lower femoral neck and entire shaft.... basically areas subject to large shear and torsion

absorb external forces
what is a trabecular network
concentrations of cancellous bone along lines of stress (i.e. on the femur the medial trabecular and the arcuate trabecular)
spongy bone =
cancellous bone
