Gluteal Region Flashcards
3 bones of the hip bone and their site of fusion
ilium
ischium
pubis
acetabulum is where they fuse, fusion of former triradiate cartilage
lunar surface of hip bone
articular surface for femur head
dx of congenital hip dysplasia, which lines on xray
tri radiate cartilage is helpful
more common in girls
hilgenriener horizontal line, perkins vertical line creat quadrants- ossification center for femoral head should be found in lower inner quadrant
shentons line denoted by continuous, symmetrical line b/w obturator foramen and medial femur, broken in CHD
hip joint contents
head of femur in acetabulum of hip bone
articular capsule surrounding, one of the strongest, lined by synovial membrane internally and bursa anteriorly
hip joint ligaments
iliofemoral ligament- strongest, anterior aspect of jioin and prevents hyperextension
pubofemoral ligament- anterior/inferior, prevents hyperabduction
ischiofemoral- strong triangular ligament posteriorly
fibers are spiralled, become tight in extension to help stabilize while standing
acetabular labrum
deepens hip joint, protects rim of acetabulum
stretches across inferior aspect of lunate surface, forms transverse acetabular ligament
transverse acetabular ligament attachment to femur
ligament of the head- attaches to femoral head at the fovea
contains artery of the head to vascularize the femoral head
4 arteries vascularizing head of the femur
medial and latter circumflex arteries (from profundal femoral artery)
retinacular arteries (femoral neck vessels, branches from circumflex arteries)
artery of the head- from obturator artery that courses w/i ligament of the head
medial circumflex is main contributor
“hip fracture”
truly a femoral neck fractur or inter trochanteric fractures
femoral neck fracture complication
often assoc w/ osteoporosis- high incidence of AVN of femoral head after damage to vessels
intertrochanteric fracture
usually in elderly, usually from a fall
dont need replacement as much, lower AVN risk
joints of the pelvic girdle
sacroiliac joints- synovial b/w sacrum and hip bones, stabilized by sacroiliac ligaments
pubic symphysis- cartilagenous joint in midline for joining pubic portion of hip bones, has a disc
2 strong posterior ligaments of the sacrum/hip
sacrotuberous
sacrospinous
4 openings in pelvis
greater sciatic foramen- above sacrospinous ligament
lesser sciatic- under sacrospinous
obturator
beneath inguinal ligament
5 things exiting greater sciatic foramen
piriformis muscle
sciatic nerve
superior/inferior gluteal nerves/vessels
posterior femoral cutaneous nerve
pudendal nerve and internal pudendal artery
lesser sciatic foramen contents
pudendal nerve and internal pudendal artery go back in the LSF
obturator internus tendon
