In the AAP News article “Limp with knee or thigh pain? Consider slipped capital femoral epiphysis,” it states that the “child limps with the foot turned out.”

WOULDN’T THAT MEAN THAT THE LEG IS EXTERNALLY ROTATED AT THE HIP (as opposed to “internally rotated at the hip” as it states in the study guide), IF THE FOOT IS TURNED OUT???

Thanks so much for any help with this!!!
