Chapter 17 Pelvis

Question 1

A long bone, is the longest, strongest, and heaviest bone in the body

Answer 1

Femur

Question 2

Is the angle between the shaft and neck of the femur in a frontal plane

Answer 2

Angle of inclination

Question 3

Is the angle between the shaft and the neck of the femur in the horizontal plane

Answer 3

Femoral Torsion

Question 4

The condition where the femoral head slides superiorly without full dislocation of the hip

Answer 4

Hip Dysplasia

Question 5

Occurs when an unusual shallow acetabulum does not cover the femoral head adequately

Answer 5

Congenital hip dislocation

Question 6

Condition in which the femoral head undergoes necrosis it usually presents in children between 5 and 10 years of age

Answer 6

Legg-Calve-Perthes disease

Question 7

Condition in which the apices of the femur slips from its normal position. Usually occurs during years when children experience increased rates of bone growth.

Answer 7

Slipped Capital femoral epiphysis

Question 8

An angle of inclination greater than 125°

Answer 8

Coxa Valga

Question 9

An angle of inclination less than 125°

Answer 9

Coxa Vara

Question 10

The amount of twist between the head/neck of the femur and the femoral shaft

Answer 10

Femoral Torsion

Question 11

is the position when the line drawn through the head/neck of the femur places, the head of the femur and tear to the greater trochanter. The normal amount of angle is 15° when compared with the line drawn through the femoral condyles.

Answer 11

Anteversion

Question 12

Occurs when the angle of torsion is greater than 15°, the amount of medial rotation on the head and neck of the femur on the shaft of the femur is increased

Answer 12

Excessive anteversion

Question 13

Occurs when the angle of torsion is less than 15°, the amount of lateral rotation of the neck on the shaft of the femur is increased

Answer 13

Excessive Retroversion

Question 14

Degeneration of the articular cartilage of the hip, often resulting from trauma or wearing and tear typically seen later in life

Answer 14

Osteoarthritis

Question 15

Predominantly intertrochanteric fractures and fractures of the femoral neck

Answer 15

Hip Fractures

Question 16

An overuse injury, causing lateral knee pain, often seen in runners and bicyclist

Answer 16

Iliotibial band syndrome

Question 17

Inflammation of the bursa surrounding the greater trochanter

Answer 17

Trochanteric bursitis

Question 18

Common and reoccurring muscle problem that may result from overload of muscle, or by attempting to contract a muscle too quickly

Answer 18

Hamstring strain

Question 19

A severe bruise caused by a direct trauma to the iliac crest of the pelvis

Answer 19

Hip pointer

Question 20

Attached proximally to both sides of the acetabular notch, attaches within fovea and femoral head

Answer 20

Ligamentum Teres

Question 21

Strong, thick, and fibrous covering joint in a cylindrical sleeve

Answer 21

Joint capsule

Question 22

Spans the hip in a spiral fashion. Divided into two parts, which both attached distally to the intertrochanteric line of the femur

Answer 22

Iliofemoral ligament

Question 23

Spans hip inferiorly in a spiral fashion. Attaches medial to anterior and medial portion of the acetabular rim of the superior ramus of the pubis.

Answer 23

Pubofemoral ligament

Question 24

Span, hip posteriorly, and superiorly in a spiral fashion. Attaches medially to ischial portion of acetabulum.

Answer 24

Ischiofemoral ligament

Question 25

Long, thick band of fascia. Superficial on lateral thigh.

Answer 25

Iliotibial band

Question 26

Gap or opening within distal attachment of abductor Magnus, between Linea Aspera and adductor tubercle

Answer 26

Adductor Hiatus

Question 27

Anterior surface of medial condyle of the tibia. Also known as goosefoot.

Answer 27

Pes Anserine
