JR 201 HIP PRACTICE EXAMINATION 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ the external oblique position of the AP oblique projection (judet method)
demonstrates the _____ column and _____ rim of acetabulum.
Answer: ilioischial; anterior
◍ what anatomy is labeled as letter H in the image below.
Answer: obturator foramen
◍ Joint assessment for hip flexion.
Answer: Posterior and inferior glides
◍ What is the central-ray entrance point for the AP oblique projection (judet
method) of the acetabulum.
Answer: 2 inches inferior to the ASIS
◍ Snapping Hip Syndrome/External Snapping Hip Syndrome.
Answer: -ITB Friction syndrome (proximal)-Snapping over greater
trochanter -Symptoms and findings similar to trochanteric bursitis
◍ Hip fx incidence.
Answer: highest incidence, cost and risk-associated with substantial
morbidity and mortality in elderly-90% result from simple, low energy fall:
age, prior fx 50y/o, Parkinsons, DM2, impaired depth perception, slower
walking speed.
◍ Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome.
Answer: -Overuse of gluteus medius and trochanteric bursitis.-Worsen with
repetitive Hip flexion or lying on side-Pain with stairs/Incline-(+)
Ober-Tight adductors-Increased Q angle (adduction of femur)SNa-Pain with
resisted ABD, EXT, ER of the hip
◍ Hip referred pain.
, Answer: -Very common-Should be considered in absence of acute trauma or
when symptoms don't clearly originate from hip
◍ Non-mechanical pain.
Answer: -doesnt change with rest or change in positoin-constant,
non-varying pain-sx affected by food
◍ Gluteus Medius tendinopathy.
Answer: -More prevalent than we think-diagnosed as trochanteric bursitis
-Age= major differentiator -Older= bursitis -Younger= tendinopathy
◍ Extra-articular ligaments.
Answer: -iliofemoral (Y ligament of Bigelow)-pubofemoral-ischiofemoral
◍ Donning pants requires what ROM values?.
Answer: 90 deg hip FL
◍ Hip ER AROM Norm.
Answer: 40-60 deg
◍ Hip IR AROM Norm.
Answer: 30-40 deg
◍ Hip ABD AROM Norm.
Answer: 30-50 deg
◍ Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease.
Answer: -Boys aged 3-12 with groin, thigh, or knee pain-Antalgic gait-Pain
aggravated with hip movement, especially hip ABD and IR-Pain with
WBing*Usually doesnt require emergent care like SCFE, bracing or casting
into ABD. Surgical correction of gross femoral head deformities may be
necessary
◍ Trochanteric Bursitis.
Answer: -peak incidence between 40 and 60 yo-Females > males-friction
(IT band over GT)-Direct trauma-Cant be distinguished from gluteal
tendinopathy by S/S alone

an AP pelvis radiograph.
Answer: 15 to 20 degrees
◍ the angle of the SI joints is _____ degrees relative to the midsagittal plane.
Answer: 25 to 30
◍ Sitting requires what ROM values?.
Answer: 115 deg hip flex

Answer: lateral glides

Answer: 25-30 deg
◍ examine this AP oblique (Judet) image of the right hip obtained with the
patient positioned for the internal oblique. What patient position is depicted.
Answer: 45 degrees LPO
◍ Squatting requires what ROM values?.
Answer: 115 deg hip fl, 20 deg abd, 20 deg IR
◍ where is the IR centered for an AP pelvis.
Answer: midway between the ASIS and the pubic symphysis
◍ where is the central ray directed for the AP oblique projection (modified
Cleaves) of the femoral necks.
Answer: 1 inch superior to the pubic symphysis
◍ the ilia articulate with the sacrum posteriorly at the.
Answer: sacroiliac joint
◍ what positioning error is evident in the image below.
Answer: the lower limbs were not internally rotated
◍ Hip OA Capsular Pattern.
