Abstract
oat 3 years of age to 9.4 o at age 8. Lateral hip rotation was 43.5 o at age 3 and decreased to 38.5 o at 8 years of age while, medial hip rotation increase from a mean of 35.7o to 44.3o at 3 years and 8 years of age respectively. Total hip excursion increased marginally form 78 o at 3 to 82.2 o at 8. While the general pattern of rotational parameters in Nigerian children in this study were similar to those from other studies in other regions, some basic differences especially in terms of range of normal value do exist. This should be borne in mind by doctors treating children in this environment. Routine reference to locally generated data as in this study is thus highly advised.
