Which specific name corresponds to the hip maneuver described as hip flexion to 90 degrees with adduction and internal rotation?

• A. Hip impingement test
• B. Ober test
• C. FABER test
• D. Thomas test

Answer: (A)

Recognizing the hip impingement maneuver: flexion to 90 degrees with adduction and internal rotation. This position brings the femoral neck close to the acetabular rim, so if femoroacetabular impingement or a labral tear is present, pinching occurs and reproduces the groin pain. That makes it the best match for the described test because the other maneuvers involve different combined motions or test different structures: the Ober test assesses iliotibial band tightness with hip extension and abduction; the FABER (flexion, abduction, external rotation) test looks at hip joint or sacroiliac problems with a different position; the Thomas test checks for hip flexion contracture by bringing one knee to the chest and observing the opposite leg.
