In our case, altered bowel habits, chronic pelvic pain and inability to pull out IUD strings were suggestive of bowel injury caused by IUD and insertion in puerperium,
retroverted uterine axis and inadequate IUD follow up were the predisposing risk factors.
Risk factors include
retroverted uterus, endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, posterior wall leiomyomas, and deep sacral concavity and an overlying promontory [5-7].
The bimanual vaginal examination showed a mobile
retroverted uterus, with normal dimensions.
The same situation can occur when the acetabular component is
retroverted. Conversely, if a high offset prosthesis is used in a smaller person with shortened abductors, it can cause inability to reduce the hip, which may force the surgeon to shorten the limb to facilitate reduction.
Per vaginal examination revealed
retroverted normal sized uterus with free fornices.
(1, 2, 5) Grossman and colleagues (4) define TTO as the sum of hip external rotation (HER), tibial torsion (TT; i.e., the slight external rotation of the tibia at the knee resulting from the normal twist in the shaft of the tibia along its longitudinal axis in a
retroverted direction, which can produce a natural toe-out of the foot relative to the tibia), and contributions from the foot.
If the person asking is close to her, she would give defensive but semi-truthful answers, like how she's having a difficult time conceiving since her uterus is
retroverted, and that her first pregnancy was a miscarriage.
The blocks were used for the
retroverted femora, if any, to allow for downward rotation of the head of the femur in space when placed on a horizontal surface, as the table surface will block the rotation of the head in
retroverted femora which is angling downward in these femora when placed on horizontal surface.
Anteverted or
retroverted position of the uterus was recorded.
described the cross-over sign (COS) as an indicator for a
retroverted acetabulum leading to an overcoverage of the femoral head and consequently to a femoroacetabular impingement [6].
In sagittal plane, humeral head is
retroverted an average of 30 degrees relative to shaft in coronal plane it is angled 130 to 150 degrees cephalad relative to diaphysis.

Contraindicated in women with a
retroverted uterus (to reduce risk of rectal perforation) (Course notes 2009).
(31) For pincer impingement, the focal or global acetabular over-coverage is addressed by trimming the acetabular rim, or by reorientation of a
retroverted acetabulum (via periacetabular osteotomy).
These include a fixed
retroverted uterus, tender adnexal masses, tenderness or nodularity of the uterosacral ligaments, nodules in the rectovaginal septum, and rarely blue or red lesions in the posterior vaginal fornix.
