Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It has been postulated that the ligamentum teres plays a role in stability, but corroborative data are scarce. It is known that the structure is taut during hip adduction, flexion, and external rotation-positions in which the joint is least stable-which demonstrates its potential role in hip stability.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hip internal and external rotations occur along the same axis. The ranges of motion of the two movements are both 45°.
