Abstract

1. Sustained medial rotation of the hind limb in the immature rabbit produces femoral anteversion and acetabular dysplasia.

2. Sustained lateral rotation produces retroversion.

3. Splinting the hind limbs in the Lorenz position corrects both anteversion and retroversion.

4. The mechanism of the Lorenz position is discussed.
