Exam 4: Pelvic girdle and Hip Flashcards
intertrochanteric line
anterior femur, connects greater/lesser trochanter
gluteal lines on ilium and gluteal muscles
posterior: vertical
anterior: oblique, anterior to posterior gluteal line
inferior: oblique, inferior to anterior gluteal line
glute max: posterior to gluteal line
glute med: attaches between anterior & posterior gluteal lines
glute min: attaches between anterior & inferior gluteal lines
intertrochanteric crest
posterior femur, connects greater/lesser trochanter
quadrate tubercle & line
tubercle: mid intertrochanteric crest
line: vertical line on inferior aspect of quadrate tubercle
pectineal line & spiral line
pectineal: vertical line with superior end on inferior aspect of lesser trochanter
spiral: continuation of intertrochanteric line that continues inferiorly (anterior to pectineal line) and helps form medial lip of linea aspera
gluteal tuberosity
superior end of lateral lip of linea aspera for attachment of glute max
motions at hip joint
flex, ext, IR, ER, Abd, Add
acetabulum
ilium, ischium, pubis
labrum: fibrocartilage
acetabular notch bridged by transverse acetabular lig
round ligament (ligamentum teres)
- arises from transverse acetabular lig
- inserts into fovea capitis of femur
- carries blood vessels to head of femur
- also a conduit for obturator nerve (through obturator canal)
- limited stability role
**damage to round ligament (head of femur) –>avascular necrosis
characteristics of hip joint capsule
- strong/dense: contributes to stability
- femoral neck = intracapsular
- greater and lesser trochanters extracapsular
- 2 sets of fibers
- longitudinal fibers: superficial
- circular fibers: zona orbicularis
- thickened anterosuperior
iliofemoral ligament
- Y ligament of Bigelow
- AIIS to intertrochanteric line
- strongest in the hip
- Taut in: extension, ER
- Superior fibers: taut in adduction
- inferior fibers: taut in abd
pubofemoral ligament
- pubic ramus to intertrochanteric fossa
- taut in abd, ext, ER
*iliofemoral & pubofemoral lig.’s form a “Z” on ant. capsule
ischiofemoral ligament
- posterior acetabular rim & labrum to zona orbicularis and inner surface of Gr. Troch.
- tightens w/ IR, ER
all hip joint ligaments tighten/relax when?
tighten w/ extension, relax in flexion
blood supply of hip region
- med & lat femoral circumflex A (from profunda femoral A)
- obturator A, superior gluteal A, inferior gluteal A (all 3 are branches of internal iliac )
