A member asked:
Is it possible to be born with 1 retroverted hip and 1 normal hip and if so, would the leg of retroverted hip feel shorter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes/no: It is possible to be born with 1 retroverted hip and 1 normal hip. The retroverted hip wouldn't necessarily be shorter though. Retroversion should be diagnosable with examination and imaging studies.
