Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
To measure the Bitrochanteric diameter, the patient must place the toes inward
A
False
B
TRUE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The engagement diameter is the bitrochanteric diameter 10 cm which enters the pelvis in one of the oblique diameters. The anterior buttock meets the pelvic floor first so it rotates 1/8 circle anteriorly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Intoeing means that when a child walks or runs, the feet turn inward instead of pointing straight ahead. It is commonly referred to as being “pigeon-toed."

Detailed explanation-3: -At full term, the fetal bitrochanteric diameter (the distance between the outer points of the hips) is about the same as the biparietal diameter (the transverse diameter of the skull)-in simplest terms, the size of the hips is the same as the size of the head.

Detailed explanation-4: -In metatarsus adductus, the foot has a curved or banana-shaped appearance. In 95% of cases, the foot corrects itself with no treatment. In the past, it was recommended to put shoes on the wrong feet. This is no longer recommended as it may cause further foot deformity.
