Table II.

This table shows the difference in range of motion (flexion) between the cone-shaped range of motion (cylindrical neck) and quatrefoil-shaped range of motion (trapezoidal neck). In this table, the acetabular abduction angle is 40° and anteversion is 20°, while the femoral stem anteversion is 20°.
