anatomy Flashcards
- How do the hip and GH joint compare?
a. GH trades joint congruency and less stability for increased mobility
b. Acetabulum of the hip is not completely covered in cartilage
c. Acetabulum is more round versus pear shaped
d. Both a fibrocartilaginous labrum
- How is the stability of the hip joint maintained?
“a. close fit of the femoral head in the acetabulum
b. strong capsule and supporting ligaments
c. massive muscle groups
d. acetabular labrum increase depth and congruency
e. orientation of zona obicularis and ligaments creates a screw home mechanism with full extension
“
- What impact does the stability of the hip have on the surrounding joints?
a. high increase of stability means less mobility
b. SI and Lumbar spine facilitate greater motion hip the pelvis and hip
- What bones make up the pelvis and why is important to the hip?
“a. they fuse together at the hip
b. ilium- upper acetabulum
c. ischium- lower posterior acetabulum
d. pubic- lower anterior acetabulum
- What anatomic features connect the trochanters of the hip?
“a. posteriorly the trochanteric crest
b. anteriorly the trochanteric line
- How is the femoral shaft shaped?
“a. cylindrical shape
b. bowed forward slightly (ie an anterior convexity)
- What does the synovial membrane cover in the hip?
“a. starts at the margins of the articular cartilage of the femoral head
b. covers the neck of the femur within the capsule
c. turns up on to the capsule
d. travels to cove the acetabulum and labrum
e. surrounds the ligamentum teres and PA
f. some time it can communicate with the subtendonus iliac bursa
- What is the capsular pattern of the hip?
“a. internal rotation
b. abduction
c. extension
d. flexion
e. external rotation
- What is the neuromuscular guarding pattern?
“a. increased tone in the external rotators
b. adductors
c. flexors
- What makes up the femoral triangle?
“a. superiorly- lower border of the inguinal ligament
b. laterally- medial border of the sartorius
c. medially- adductur longus
d. apex- bound by pecineus, adductor longus, illiacus and psoas muscle
- What is found in the femoral triangle?
“a. psoas
b. femoral nerve
c. femoral artery and most of its branches
d. femoral vein
- How is the acetabulum shaped?
a. prominent superior and posterior margins to compensate for weight bearing
- Where is the acetabulum located on the pelvis?
a. at the intersection of the the three bone of the pelvis
- How is the acetabulum oriented?
“a. inferior
b. lateral
c. anterior
- Describe the articular surface of the acetabulum
“a. Only the perimeter has cartilage due to the acetabular notch
b. Acetabular notched is filled with the pulvinar acetabulum
What passes through the acetabular notch?
a.PA, nutrient arteries and viens, nerve
What is found in the acetbular fossa?
PA, ligament of the head of the femur
- What are the attachments of the acetabular labrum?
“a. boney rim of the acetabulum
b. continues across the acetabular notch as the transverse ligament
- What is the function of the acetabular labrum?
“a. increase depth of acetabulum
b. increase joint stability
- How is the labrum shaped?
“a. it completely surrounds the joint
b. triangular shaped with the apex a free floating edge
c. it is thicker superiorly
- How doe the labrum relate the synovial lining of the hip?
a. both sides of the free floating edge of the labrum are lined with synovium
- How is the femoral head shaped?
“a. it forms about 2/3 of a sphere
b. average diameter of 4-5cm
