A member asked:
Im 17 yr f with painful snapping psoas tendon since 2yr. doc says i may have anteversion. how can i be sure except ct scan? also had bow legs. treatme

Measured via CT: CT is most effective means of measuring femoral anteversion. Recent studies would suggest that patients treated with fractional lengthening of a snapping iliopsoas may experience inferior results if they also have excessive femoral anteversion (>25 degrees). The thinking is that in these patients the tendon may play a more critical role as a stabilizer of the hip and should not be disturbed.
