10/14 - Anatomy of Hip Complex Flashcards
what type of joints comprise the SIJ
planar synovial joints
what is the composition of the pubic symphysis
fibrocartilaginous disc
what are 3 sites for tendinous attachments on the pelvic complex and what are the attachments
- ASIS - sartorius
- AIIS - rectus fem
- IT - hamstrings
how does SIJ pathology usually present
post joint pain
what is the significance of the tendinous attachments in the hip complex in a younger pt population
common places for avulsions
- not really true fx
what ms directly attach to the sacrum
piriformis is the ONLY MUSCLE
what contributes to making the pelvic complex so stable
extensive ligamentous support
- sacrotuberous - post
- sacrospinous - ant
how many degrees of freedome are allowed by the bony anatomy of the pelvis
3
what is the function of the proximal femur in WB
prox femur transmits greater tensile & compressive load than anywhere in body
how is the acetabulum oriented
ant
lat
inf
due to the orientation of the acetabulum, what directions will the hip have more stability in
sup and post
what structures deepen the hip socket and how
acetabular labrum
transverse ligament
- ligament completes inf portion of the acetabular labrum
what is the orientation of the capsule fibers and why is this significant
longitudinal
oblique
arcuate
circular
4 different orientations - this is what makes the hip more stable than shoulder and also less mobile
what are the intra-articular ligaments
ligamentum teres
transverse ligament
what is the function of ligamentum teres
encloses the obturator a. to the femoral head
- this is significant in the pediatric population
what is the function of the transverse ligament
- crosses acetabular fossa
- completes 180deg rim around acetabulum (w the labrum)
what are the extra-articular ligaments
iliofemoral (Y-ligament)
pubofemoral
ischiofemoral
location and function of the iliofemoral ligament
ant - 2 bands
limits - ext, ER, ADD
location and function of the pubofemoral ligament
ant
limits ABD
location and function of the ischiofemoral ligament
post
limits IR, ext
what are the clinically significant bursa and why
trochanteric
iliopectineal
ischiogluteal
clinically significant bc more common to see sx of true inflammatory irritation, tendinopathy, tendon irritation
where is the trochanteric bursa located
b/w ITB, glut med, glut min -AND- greater troch
where is the iliopectineal bursa located
b/w iliopsoas -AND- iliopectineal eminence along sup rim of acetabulum
where is the ischiogluteal bursa located
b/w common hamstring tendon -AND- ischial tub
what does lateral hip pain usually indicate
gluteal tendinopathy (limited inflammation)
- can usually have more than one gluteal tendon impacted
how does trochanteric bursitis typically present
globally uncomfortable at the joint, not just tendon attachments
what are the contents of the femoral triangle
femoral v
femoral a
femoral n
what are the borders and floor of the femoral triangle
lat border - sartorius
med - ADD longus
sup - inguinal ligament
floor - iliopsoas, pectineus
what specific mobs should be done cautiously d/t location of femoral triangle
an ant-post force
- careful not to drive force into this triangle

arthokinematics of hip joint
convex fem head on concave acetabulum
flex and IR = post glide
ext and ER = ant glide
when are the arthrokinematics of the hip especially applicable
when considering THA approach and precautions
what is the significance of the open-packed position
greatest laxity
- position for joint mobilization and assessment
what is the open pack position of the hip
30 flex
30 ABD
5 ER
what is the significance of the closed packed position of the hip
max tension on capsuloligamentous structures
what position is the closed pack position for the hip
full ext
slight ABD
what are transverse plane abnormalities
version
torsion
version vs torsion
VERSION = position in space relative to a body plane
- fem head/neck w frontal plane
TORSION = twist of bone along longitudinal axis
- fem head/neck w fem condyles
norm angle for version and torsion?
12deg for both
- are often used interchangeably but how you get there is different
what is the normal position of the femoral head/neck relative to distal femoral condyles
angle of inclination is ant
- normal 8-20deg
what is anteversion
angle of inclination of fem head/neck is more ant relative to frontal plane >15deg
what body compensations are seen as a result of anteversion
position yields ER
compensatory IR to seat head in acetabulum
- limited ER ROM d/t shortened IR musculature
what is antetorsion
angle of inclination of femoral head/neck is more ant relative to distal fem condyles >15deg
what body compensations are seen as a result of antetorsion
position yields IR
- evidenced by toe-in posture
limited ER ROM d/t shortened IR musculature
what are reasons up the chain for toe in (4)
anteversion
shortened hip IR
lengthened hip ER
internal rotation at knee (down the chain)
