| Definition of coxa vara? | angle is less than 125 degrees |
| What increases stability, shortens the limb and causes a greater incidence of femoral neck fractures (coxa valga or vara)? | Coxa vara |
| What are the 3 related postures of coxa vara? | 1. ipsilateral genu valgus (knee) 2. shortened ipsilateral leg 3. anterior pelvic rotation |
