Correct Answer: Jerk is given to the knee to dislocate the femur head - jerk of exit
Description: Ans. is 'd' i.e., Jerk is given to the knee to dislocate the femur head - jerk of exit * In Ortolani's test, the baby's thighs are held with the thumbs medially on thigh and the fingers resting on the greater trochanters; the hips are flexed to 90 degrees and gently abducted. Normally there is smooth abduction to almost 90 degrees.# In congenital dislocation the movement is usually impeded, but if pressure is applied to the greater trochanter there is a soft 'clunk' as the dislocation reduces, and then the hip abducts fully (the 'jerk of entry').# If abduction stops halfway and there is no jerk of entry, there may be an irreducible dislocation.
