Femoral head blood supply
Ligamentum teres
Medial and lateral circumflex arteries
Nutrient arteries within femoral shaft
Hip joint
Synovial polyaxial ball and socket joint 3 degrees of freedom Flex/ext Abd/add Med/lat rotation Circumduction
Acetabulum
Lunate surface of hyaline cartilage-horseshoe shaped
•Thickest above and centrally, for weight bearing
•Non articular region of acetabular fossa and notch is covered with fat
Acetabular labrum
Fibro cartilaginous rim
Triangular in cross section
Head of femur
- Spheroid in shape, covered in hyaline cartilage
- Thicker centrally than at the periphery
- Cartilage is deficient over the fovea
Ligaments of hip joint
- Iliofemoral ligament (anterior)
- Pubofemoral ligament (anterior)
- Ischiofemoral ligament (posterior)
- Ligamentum Teres (internal)
Iliofemoral ligament
•Formed by two bands (superior and Inferior) •Apex –from the AIIS •Base –To the intertrochanteric line •Superior band limits –Extension –Adduction •Inferior band limits –Extension –Abduction
Pubofemoral ligament
•Base –from the pubic eminence •Apex –to the capsule and the medial band of the iliofemoral ligament and intertrochanteric line •Limits –Extension –Abduction
Ischiofemoral ligament
•From –the inferior aspect of the ischium •To –the capsule and the anterior part of the greater trochanter deep to the iliofemoral ligament •Limits –Extension –Medial Rotation
