Proximal adjustment of the hip joint
Abduction/ adduction
1. Abduction and adduction (Fig. 2): To adjust abduction or adduction, loosen the lower and upper screw and
turn the hip joint around the lower screw. Torque: 25 Nm using Torx Bit TX40 (see also page 43).
2. Rotation (Fig. 3): To adjust inward and outward rotation, loosen the lower, middle and upper screw. Before­
