ALS Lecture 9 - The Hip: Function and Injuries DONE Flashcards
hip joint type
ball and socket, synovial
the hip joint is very (2)
stable, mobile
the hip joint is between the
head of femur, acetabulum of pelvis
label the diagram of the hip
done
psoas major originates at
transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae
psoas major attaches to
lesser trochanter of the femur
psoas major action
main hip flexor
label the diagrams of the anterior and medial thigh muscles
done
gluteus maximus originates at
sacrum
gluteus maximus attaches to
gluteal tuberosity
innervation of gluteus maximus
inferior gluteal nerve, L5-S2
gluteus maximus action
extends hip when hip is already flexed, e.g. climbing stairs or lifting from a squat
label the diagrams relating to the gluteus maximus
done
hip abductors
gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, tensor fasciae latae
innervation of hip abductors
superior gluteal nerve, L4-S1
action of hip abductors
raises contralateral hip in normal gait
lateral rotators of the hip emerge through
greater and lesser sciatica foramina
lateral rotators of the hip insert onto the
femur
lateral rotators of the hip
piriformis, obturator internus, obturator externus, superior and inferior gemelli, quadratus femoris
it is very useful to know the location of the piriformis so we can find the
nerves and blood vessels below it
obturator internus
forms some of pelvic wall, attaches proximal femur
obturator externus
obturator nerve lies over it,
superior and inferior gemelli sit either side of
obturator internus
innervation of lateral rotators of the hip
small branches of sacral plexus
lateral rotators of the hip are lateral to _____ _____ on prosection
sacrotuberous ligament
position of the sciatic nerve is obvious on prosection and is inferior to
piriformis
label the diagrams of the hip muscles
done
posterior thigh muscles common origin
ischial tuberosity, except short head of biceps
posterior thigh muscles include
biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, adductor magnus (hamstring part)
