Exam 2 Flashcards
Which ligament is ideally positioned to limit gapping of the anterior sacroiliac joint surface?
ventral sacroiliac ligament
Which movement of the sacrum is the long posterior sacroiliac ligament positioned to limit or restrain?
counternutation
What is the average amount of motion about any axis of the adult sacroiliac joint in an unloaded position?
2 degrees
Which ligament is ideally positioned to limit displacement between the posterior sacrum and the iliac tuberosity
posterior interosseous sacroiliac ligament
Which tissues contribute to increased force closure of the sacroiliac joint?
muscles, ligaments, and fascia (not cartilage)
What is the function of the sacroiliac joint?
relieve torsional stresses placed on the pelvis when walking
What movement of the sacrum is usually induced by vertically applied loads to the sacrum?
nutation
What motion of the sacrum are the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments positioned to restrain?
nutation
Which ligament is continuous with the long posterior sacroiliac ligament?
sacrotuberous ligament
Which ligament attaches the lateral and intermediate sacral crests of the S3, S4, and S5 segments to the posterior superior iliac spine?
long posterior sacroiliac ligament
Which structure of the ilium is located posterior to the iliac auricular surface?
iliac tuberosity
Which ligament attaches the middle sacral fossa to the iliac tuberosity?
posterior interosseous sacroiliac ligament
What structure separates the greater sciatic foramen from the lesser sciatic foramen?
sacrospinous ligament
Where is the joint capsule of the sacroiliac joint located?
deep to the anterior sacroiliac ligament
Which bony structure of the sacrum “interlocks” with the iliac ridge at the sacroiliac joint?
sacral groove
the primary kyphosis helps to increase
the size of the pelvic cavity
the sacral surface is covered by
hyaline cartilage
the iliac surface is covered by
fibrocartilage-like hyaline cartilage
the longitudinal groove along the center of the sacral auricular surface
sacral groove
the thick posterior rim of sacral groove that sometimes forms an accessory SI joint
sacral tuberosity
what landmark is found at the inferior end of iliac ridge
PIIS
the groove between iliac tuberosity and iliac ridge
iliac sulcus
the articular capsule is only located on which side
anterior
this ligament bends with the joint capsule while covering and prevents diastasis of the anterior joint surface
anterior sacroiliac ligament
this ligament connects to the sacral tubercles and articular process of S1 and S2 to the iliac crest and tuberosity
short posterior sacroiliac ligaments
this ligament connects S3 and S4 to the PSIS and inner lip of iliac crest
long posterior sacroiliac ligament
this ligament courses vertically and blend inferiorly with the sacrotuberous ligament
long posterior sacroiliac ligament
the long posterior sacroiliac ligament limits
counternutation (posterior tilting)
fascia of the glut max, erector spinae, and thoracolumbar attach onto the
LPSIL
