241     Table 9.4: Hips assesses impairments of range of motion and deformity of the hip, as well as ankylosis. Hip deformity with movement is assessed separately from ankylosis.
    242     Ankylosis in the optimal position is 20% WPI. The optimal position is 25°-40° of flexion with neutral rotation, abduction and adduction. This is the base level of ankylosis impairment in the hip. When ankylosis is not in the optimal position, add the relevant WPI ratings from Table 9.4 for ankylosis in each direction. Then add the base figure of 20% WPI for ankylosis in the optimal position.
