Chapter 29 Flashcards
formed by the articulation of the head of the femur with the acetabulum of the hip bone
hip joint
deep fascia of the thigh
fascia lata
largest nerve in the upper thigh
sciatic nerve
formation of the hip bones by the ilium, ischium, and pubis
pelvic girdle
description of the region at the front of the upper thigh, just below the inguinal ligament
femoral triangle
gap in the fascia lata, which is found 4cm inferior and lateral to the pubic tubercle
saphenous opening
the hip is laterally and posteriorly displaced to the extent that the femoral head has no contact with the acetabulum and the normal “U” configuration cannot be obtained on ultrasound
frank dislocation
the patient lies in the supine position. the examiner’s hand is place around the hip to be examined with the finger over the femoral head. the hip is flexed 90 degrees, and the thigh is abducted
Ortolani maneuver
on physical exam, the knee is lower in position on the affected side of the neonate with DDH when the patient is supine and the knees are flexed
Galeazzi sign
the patient lies in the supine position with the hip flexed 90 degrees and adducted. downward and outward pressure is applied. if the hip is dislocated, the examiner will feel the femoral head move out of the acetabulum
Barlow maneuver
This occurs with the femoral head moves posteriorly and remains in contact with the posterior aspect of the acetabulum
subluxation
this abnormal condition of the hip results in congenital hip dysplasia; included dysplastic, subluxated, dislocatable, and dislocated hips
developmental displacement of the hip (DDH)
the ______ joint unites the two hip bones with the sacral part of the vertebral column
sacroiliac
the hip bones are the fusion of the three separate bones, the ______, the ______, and the ______, which together form the pelvic girdle
ilium, ischium, and pubis
the bone of the upper thigh is the ______
femur
the femoral artery branches into the ______ artery, which is the main artery supply for the thigh muscles
profunda femoris
the largest nerve in the upper thigh is the ______ nerve
sciatic
the deep fascia of the thigh, the ______, forms a tough connective tissue surrounding the muscles
fascia lata
the ______ is formed by the inguinal ligament, the adductor longus (medially), and the sartorius (laterally).
femoral triangle
the contents of the femoral triangle include the femoral ______, the femoral ______ and ______, and the femoral ______
canal, vein, artery, nerve
the femoral vein and artery and the femoral canal are enclosed in a connective tissue sleeve called the femoral ______
sheath
the contents of the femoral triangle are separated from the more deeply lying hip joint by muscles; the ______ is medial, and the ______ is lateral
pectineus, iliacus
