as far as my knowledge there will not be any case in the exam where u have to expose below the groin.so maximum expose till the groin and do the exam. i think it will be ok.any comments

Coming to think of it, i didnt see a single case of hip joint in FA or in UW raised eyebrow.. (ofc you need to rule out hip joint pathology in a case of knee pain, but then thats a different thing)

But if you do get a case primarily of hip.. well then you have to expose both hips and proceed as you would in a real patient. But you have to take care not to expose the genitals ( just like you would in a real patient)

Good luck!
