Not sure I understand the question...
The hip and the knee can rotate to the same direction as well as in opposite directions, either bearing body weight or not bearing body weight.
As a side note, in Chinese Martial Arts the hips are frequently externally rotated and knees internally rotated simultaneously in order to produce tension in the legs.

How do our thighs function?
Flexion, extension, rotation, adduction of the hip, extension and rotation at the knee
how do thighs function?
Flexion, extension, rotation, adduction of the hip, extension and rotation at the knee
Concentric contraction of the hamstrings causes which joint action?
knee flexion and hip extension.Biceps femoris also: knee external rotation and hip external rotation.Semi tendinosus and Semi membranosus also: knee internal rotation and hip internal rotation.hamstrings eccentric contraction causes knee extension and hip flexion, whilst the antagonist muscles are passive.
What is the action of the startorius muscles?
Flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation at the hip, and flexion and medial rotation at the knee.
How does maintaining the position for full knee flexion limits the ability to maximally extend the hip both actively and passively?
Tension in the posterior cruciate ligament when maintaining flexing a knee creates a lateral rotation in the tibia. This feature plays an essential role in locking the hip for stabilization.
What are some devices that prevent external rotation of the leg?
Some devices that can prevent external rotation of the leg include knee immobilizers, hinged knee braces, and hip abduction braces. These devices help to restrict movement and stabilize the leg and hip joint, reducing the risk of external rotation or unwanted movement.
Why circumduction and rotation can not be possible around hip joint?
Circumduction and rotation ARE possible around the hip joint.
What Assist in flexing and rotation of hip and flexion of the knee?
If you are looking for the answer of what assists all of those movements at the same time, the answer would be the Gluteus Medius and Minimus muscles. Think of a squat, while you are squatting both your hip and knee are flexed (the gluteus medius and minimus are the stabilizers/assisters during a squat), and while the hip is flexed the gluteus medius can internally rotate the thigh.
Why is it possible to swing around the leg in circles at the hip joint but not at the knee joint?
The hip joint is a ball and socket joint so it possible to move the leg around in a 360 degree circle. The knee joint is a pivotal hinge joint so it can only move backwards and forwards with slight rotation.
What is an orthopedic disability?
A disability affecting the foot or joints in the Knee, hip and lower back related to walking/running.
What is the joint above and below the knee?
It is not a separate joint it is your hip joint, the hip joint is a ball & socket joint!!!
What is the longest muscle in the body and what is its action?
It is called the Sartorius muscle located in the thigh. Here is the long definition. Assists in flexing, abduction and later rotation of the hip and flexing of the knee.
