Q

Femoral neck

A

Acts as a strut & allows the head of the femur to sit inside the acetabulum whilst allowing and increased range of movement & leverage

21
Q

articular margin

A

where the synovial membrane will attach
* Where hyaline cartilage stops & periosteum of the bone will continue

22
Q

fovea capitis

A

attachment site for the ligamentum teres

23
Q

Hip joint
Histological classification

A

Synovial

24
Q

Hip joint
Functional classification

A

Ball & socket

Ball = head of femur
Socket = acetabulum (concaved)
* Sacrificed mobility in order to gain stability - it’s a WB joint

25
Q

Hip joint
3 degrees of movement

A

Ball & socket = triaxial

Movement
Plane

Flexion/extension
Sagittal

Adduction/abduction
Coronal

Medial & lateral rotation
Horizontal

26
Q

Articulating surfaces of the hip bone

A

Lunate surface of acetabulum & head of femur (except fovea capitis)

* It is a deep set articulation - its rather congruent as 2/3 of femoral head sit inside the acetabulum
* Lined with hyaline articular cartilage
27
Q

Acetabulum features

A

Articular part
Non-articular part
Acetabular labrum

28
Q

Articular part of acetabulum

A

Crescentic lunate surface - only articular surface of the acetabulum
* Surrounds the acetabular fossa
* Tissue type: hyaline cartilage covers this

29
Q

Non-articular part of acetabulum

A

Acetabular fossa - rough and non-articular
* Surrounded by the crescentic lunate surface

30
Q

Acetabular labrum

A

Acetabular labrum - deepens the articulation of the hip joint & allows it to receive more of the femoral head
* Acts as a ‘lip’

31
Q

Bursa definition

A

Pouch of synovial membrane filled with synovial fluid
Wherever there is friction = bursa will be present

32
Q

function of bursa

A

Reduces friction between 2 structures that slide upon each other

33
Q

types of bursa

A
  • Trochanteric bursa (TB)
    • Gluteofemoral bursa (GFB)
    • Ischial bursa (IB)
34
Q

Capsular ligaments

A

Capsular (extrinsic)
Iliofemoral (anterior/superior)
Pubofemoral (anterior/inferior)
Ischiofemoral (posterior)

35
Q

IF ligament (anterior/superior)

A

Iliofemoral ligament - y-shaped ligament attaching between the iliac bone & the intertrochanteric line of the femur
* Strongest
* Prevents hyperextension by screwing femoral head to acetabulum

Line of gravity lies posterior to the hip joint = tendency for the trunk to extend posteriorly = strong ligaments are located anteriorly to prevent this (iliofemoral ligament)

36
Q

PF ligament (anterior/inferior)

A

Pubofemoral ligament - attaches between the pubic bone & neck of the femur
* Prevents over-abduction by tightening during abduction
* Limits hip extension to 10-15° by tightening during extension

37
Q

ISF ligament (posterior)

A

Ischiofemoral ligament - attaches to the articular margin of the acetabulum & greater trochanter
* Weakest
* Could prevent/limit hyperflexion

38
Q

Intracapsular ligaments

A

Intracapsular (intrinsic)
Ligamentum teres
Transverse acetabular

39
Q

Ligamentum teres

A

Ligamentum teres (ligament of the head of the femur) - includes fibres that blend with the labrum, attach to the inferior horns of the lunate surface & also attach to the transverse ligament
* Sits on top of the fat pad, side the hip

40
Q

Fat pad

A

Sits in acetabular fossa & covered with a layer of synovial membrane

41
Q

Transverse acetabular ligament

A

bridges the acetabular notch & attaches to the inferior horns of the acetabulum

42
Q
