Craigs Test is used to evaluate femoral version by hip rotation with the knee flexed. Which option best reflects this assessment?

• A. Dreyer sign
• B. Lift Off Test
• C. Craigs Test
• D. Valgus overload

Answer: (C)

Craigs test estimates femoral version by rotating the hip with the knee flexed to 90 degrees while palpating the greater trochanter. The key idea is that the angle of hip rotation at which the greater trochanter is most prominent aligns with the amount of femoral version (anteversion). In practice, a larger required rotation suggests greater anteversion, which can be associated with in-toeing and increased internal rotation. The other listed tests are used for different joints or conditions and do not assess femoral version.
