    > Anterior
    > Posterior
    > Interosseus
  • Sacrospinous ligament
  • Sacrotuberous ligament
  • Sacrococcygeal ligament
  • Pubic ligaments
    > Superior
    > Inferior
18
Q

  • Ischial tuberosity
  • Sacrotuberous ligament
  • Coccyx
19
Q

Components of the pelvic diaphragm

A
  • Levator ani
  • Ischiococcygeus
20
Q

What is levator ani made of?

A
  • Pubovaginalis
  • Pubococcygeus
  • Puborectalis
  • Iliococcygeus
21
Q

Structures that pass through pelvic diaphragm

A
  • Ureter
  • Cervix
  • Anal canal
22
Q

What is the iliotibial tract and where does it run from and to?

A
  • Thick band of fascia lata
  • From iliac crest to lateral condyle of tibia
23
Q

Which muscles insert into the iliotibial tract?

A
  • Tensor fascia lata
  • Gluteus maximus
24
Q

Functions of iliotibial tract

A
  • Help steady pelvis on thigh
  • Keep knee extended in erect position
25
Q

Origin, insertion, action and innervation of gluteus maximus

A
  • O = external surface of ilium behind posterior gluteal line, back of sacrum + coccyx, sacrotuberous ligament
  • Ins = gluteal tuberosity of femur (deeper 1/4), iliotibial tract (rest)
  • A = hip extensor, knee extensor
  • Inn = inferior gluteal nerve (L5-S2)
26
Q

Origin, insertion, action and innervation of gluteus medius and minimus

A
  • O = gluteal surface of ilium
  • Ins = greater trochanter
  • A = hip abduction, stabilising + maintaining balance of pelvis during walking
  • Inn = superior gluteal nerve (L4-S1)
27
Q

What is Trendelenburg sign?

A

Patient is unable to stabilise hip when standing on one leg

28
Q

What causes Trendelenburg sign?

A
  • Weak or paralysed hip abductors
  • Affected side cannot stabilise pelvis when standing on affected side’s leg
  • Unaffected side of pelvis drops
29
Q

What is Trendelenburg’s gait?

A
  • Person is seen lurching toward weakened side when normal sided foot is raised
  • When normal foot sided foot is raised, there is a tilt towards unsupported side, so person leans towards weakened side to compensate
30
Q

6 lateral rotators of the hip

A
  • Piriformis
  • Obturator internus
  • Obturator externus
  • Quadratus femoris
  • Superior gemellus
  • Inferior gemellus
31
Q

What passes through the greater sciatic foramen above piriformis?

A
  • Superior gluteal vessels
  • Superior gluteal nerve
32
Q

What passes through the greater sciatic foramen below piriformis?

A
  • PIN PINS:
    > Pudendal nerve
    > Internal pudendal vessels
    > Nerve to obturator internus
    > Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh
    > Inferior gluteal vessels + nerve
    > Nerve to quadratus femoris
    > Sciatic nerve
33
Q

What passes through the lesser sciatic foramen?

A
  • PINT:
    > Pudendal nerve
    > Internal pudendal vessels
    > Nerve to obturator internus
    > Tendon of obturator internus
