The purpose of the present study was to verify the correlation between the femoral anteversion angle measured by biplanes radiography and the values of internal and external rotation of the hip obtained by clinical assessment. Sixty-four hips of 32 individuals with no previous coxofemoral pathologies were studied by taking their hip rotation values with a proper instrument - the fleximeter - and taking radiographic images using the Rippstein- Müller method. The results obtained were statistically analyzed and it was concluded that there was no statistically significant correlation and that it is possible that other factors, in addition to the femoral anteversion angle, may be important in determining the range of rotation of the hip joint.
