The validity of the Craig's test has been called into question due to instances where the test exhibits relatively poor correlation with three-dimensional imaging.

Twenty-three volunteers (n = 46; each hip analyzed separately) received two hip DXA scans using two different methods of positioning. During the first scan, a standard-sized wedge, the conventional tool of hip positioning for DXA scans, was used to fixate the legs without regard for individual levels of femoral version. For the second scan, the participants’ hips were manually positioned according to their degree of femoral version determined by the Craig's test. We hypothesized that the bone mineral density (BMD) values from the customized positions would be lower due to the X-ray beams hitting the femoral neck perpendicularly. A paired </span><em>t</em>-test revealed weak evidence of a difference between BMD readings of the conventional and customized positions (<em>p-value = </em>0.065); moreover, contrary to our hypothesis, the BMD readings obtained in the standard position were lower than those obtained in the customized position, albeit not significantly. Our findings suggest that the Craig's test is not a valid clinical assessment of true femoral version.
