Genu valgum on the left side would most likely be associated with which ASIS finding?

Lower left ASIS Lower right ASIS Higher left ASIS Equal ASIS

Correct Answer:

Lower left ASIS

Explanation:

ASIS heights indicate how the pelvis is tilted in the frontal plane. When genu valgum appears on the left, the pelvis will commonly tilt toward that side, causing the left ASIS to drop relative to the right. This downward tilt of the left pelvis aligns the body to balance the medial collapse of the knee, so a lower left ASIS is the expected finding. A lower right ASIS would suggest a tilt to the opposite side, a higher left ASIS would indicate the left side tipping upward, and equal ASIS levels would mean no lateral pelvic tilt.
