Anatomy and clinical of hip and knee Flashcards
What is meant by a diarthrodial joint?
moveable joint with cartilage on articulating surfaces
hip joint type
synovial ball and socket
neck shaft normal angle
130
femoral anteversion angle
15
acetabular anteversion angle
20
static hip stabilisers
bony morphology - congruence
anteversion of ball and socket
labrum
negative intra-articular pressure
dynamic hip stabilisers
muscles
4 hip flexor muscles
iliopsoas
rectus femoris
sartorius
pectineus
innervation of hip flexors
femoral nerve
4 hip extensor muscles
gluteus maximus
semitendinosus
semimembranosus
biceps femoris
innervation of hip extensors
glut max = inferior gluteal
others = sciatic
3 hip abductor muscles and innervation
gluteus med. and min
tensor fascia latae
superior gluteal nerve
4 hip adductors and innervation
adductor longus, brevis and magnus (sciatic aswell)
gracillis
obturator nerve
2 hip internal rotators and innervation
anterior fibres - glut med
TFL
superior gluteal
7 hip external rotators
gluteus maximus piriformis sup and inf gemellus obturator internus obturator externus quadratus femoris
hip external rotators innervation
obturator
inferior gluteal nerve
Diagnosing hip pathology
C sign
exacerbating factors - tying shoe laces
4 sites of pain in hip pathology
trochanteric
buttock
groin
referred
blood supply to femoral head
capsule via medial and lateral femoral circumflex
ligamentum teres via acetabular branch of obturator
Fixing extra-capsular femoral head
always - blood supply intact
