Summary

Hip examination starts with standing the patient, then walking the patient and describing the gait. The Trendelenburg test is then performed. The patient is then asked to lie on the couch and the pelvis squared. As the hip is a deep joint, palpation does usually yield much information. Thomas test is performed, followed by range of movement of the hip. Then, leg length is assessed. Finally, if required, impingement tests are performed. Other special tests such as Phelps' test are performed if there are hip contractures. In the ‘Advanced Corner’, other less commonly performed special tests are described.
