Bony Lower Extremity Flashcards
Weight transfer
- Weight of the upper body is transmitted centrally through the vertebral column
- Divided, and directed laterally by means of the bony arch that is formed by the sacrum and the ilium on each side. The dense bony column for weight transmission through the head of the femur.
- head of the femur to the shaft
- Pubic rami form braces that help maintain the integrity of the arch.
Tubercle on iliac crest
For the division of the extensor gluteal muscles and abductor gluteal muscles
Anterior superior iliac spine
Attachment of sartorius
Inferior gluteal line
Attachments for gluteus minimus and medius
Anterior inferior iliac spine
Attachment for rectus femoris
Acetabulum parts
Articular lunate surface
Acetabular fossa
Pubis parts
Pubic crest
Pubic tubercle
Acetabular notch
Spanned by transverse acetabular ligament, which will allow for the acetabular labrum to be secured
Ischiopubic ramus
Inferior ramus of pubis
Ramus of ischium
Ischial tuberosity
Attachment for the hamstring muscles
Ischial spine
Attachment for the sacrospinous ligament
Body of illium
Forms shelf of the acetabulum for weight-bearing
Fault in the articular cartilage of the femoral head
Called the fovea Capitis
For the attachment of the ligamentum teres major
Intertrochanteric line side of femur
Anterior surface
Which muscle attaches most superiorly on the greater trochanter
Piriformis
