TRIPOD SIGN

Bilateral hip case

Find out the worse affected side – pain on movt/restricted ROM

Block test to ascertain fixed add/abd deformity First thomas test

Flex the less affected hip first Repeat on other side If FFD then confirm at end of examination by putting

patient prone at edge of table

Bilateral hip case

Measurements: always square pelvis for true measurementsCan be done only if some free ROM on one

side If bilat fixed only seg measurements

Bryants Femur tibia Mention the relative discrepancies
