Final Flashcards
What age does the hip bone fuse together?
9
Bones that make up the pelvis
illium
ischium
pubis
Fovea of femur
connection for ligaments of the head
allows nutrients to come into the leg
Abduction/Adduction of leg
relative to the trunk
can be open chain or closed chain depending on which leg is the reference
Weight transfer in the hips
- weight transmitted centrally down vertebral column
- weight goes through ilium
- weight goes through center of femur
- weight goes through pubic rami to symphysis
line of gravity goes through the head of the femur, straight down
Angle of inclination of 3 year old
135°
Angle of inclination in adult
126°
Angle of inclination in old age
120°
Torsion angle of femur
12°
goes through head of femur to greater trochanter
Valgus
proximal end is more medial, distal end is more lateral
Varus
proximal end is more lateral, distal end is more medial
Excessive Femoral Anteversion
most pts with excessive femoral neck anteversion in-toe to better position the femoral head
45°
Excessive Femoral Retroversion
most patients with excessive femoral neck retroversion out-toe to better position the femoral head
0°
Iliofemoral ligament
strongest ligament of the body
most important external rotator
resists extension
Ligaments of hip
Ischiofemoral
pubofemoral
iliofemoral
all cross the neck of the femur
Arteries of gluteal/post thigh, proximal to distal
abdominal aorta
Common iliac
internal iliac
external iliac
Femoral
Femoral artery goes through…
adductor hiatus
becomes popliteal artery
Spinal levels of lumbar/sacral
nerves come inferior to the same vertebrae
ex: T1 nerves comes below T1 vertebrae
Dermatomes Front
Beginning at inner thigh
L1, L2
L3, L4, L5 = cross knee
S1 = pinky toe
S2 = medial heel
Inguinal = S2, S3 (outer to inner)
Dermatomes, Back
Beginning at anus
Co, S5, S4, S3, S2, S1, L5, L4, L3
S2 travels to medial thigh/leg
S1 travels to lateral thigh/leg
Foot =
L5 middle
S1 lateral
S2 medial (no toes)
L4 big toe
Adduction of hip spinal innervation
L2-L4
Abduction of hip spinal innervation
L5, S1
ER of hip spinal innervation
L5, S1
IR of hip spinal innervation
L4, L5
Inversion of foot spinal innervation
L4, L5
Eversion of foot spinal innervation
L5, S1
Extension of toes spinal innervation
L5, S1
Flexion of toes spinal innervation
S2, S3
Extension of hip spinal innervation
L4, L5
Flexion of hip spinal innervation
L2, L3
Flexion of knee spinal innervation
L5, S1
Extension of knee spinal innervation
L3, L4
Dorsiflexion spinal innervation
L4, L5
Plantarflexion spinal innervation
S1, S2
Saphenous nerve
cutaneous innervation of medial leg
Knee jerk reflex
quads
L3/L4
ankle jerk reflex
calcaneal/achilles
S1/S2
Quads and Patellar Tendon
connect over the patella
Quads is above the patella
Patellar tendon is below the patella
