Fig.4 Hip sockets pointing in different directions. Therefore range of motion in different directions will be different.
Fig.5 Left hip socket of two pelvii. Socket in left specimen pointed forward and down. Socket on right specimen pointed sideways and nearly horizontal.
Fig.6 Six left femurs. Oriented upside down in this image to make it easier to show torsion in the next two images.
Fig.8 Two extremes of femoral rotation. Looking down on the neck/head of two left femur. Feet parallel requires completely different femoral rotations.
Fig.7 Looking down on the neck/head of six left femurs. The degree of torsion (twist) increases left to right.
Fig.10 Two left femurs in front view. Femur on left has a neck that is twice as long.
Fig.9 Two Left Femurs. The inclination of the neck is 40 degrees different. The ability to abduct (lift the leg to the side) would be 40 degrees different.
