Gluteal Region And Hip Joint Flashcards
Greater Sciatic Foramen
Passageway for structures entering or leaving PELVIS
Posterior gluteal muscles
- Gluteus Maximus
2. Gluteus Medius
Ligaments of the articulated pelvis
- Obturator Membrane
- Sacro-Tuberous
- Sacro-Spinous
- Sacro-Iliac
- Ilio-Lumbar
Characteristics of the Acetabular Fossa
- Socket Portion for the Femoral head
- Formed by FUSION of all three Pelvic Bones
- Covered in Hyaline Cartilage
- Deeper Central part consist of Fat pad
T/F: Gluteus Medius and Minimus are 2 muscles separated by the Gluteal Nerve
False
They are the SAME muscle separated by the Gluteal Nerve
Actions of the Gluteus MAXIMUS
- Extent thigh
- Externally rotate thigh
- Extend PELVIS when lower limbs are flexed
- Necessary for rising from seated position, running and jumping
Cutaneous innervation to the Buttock
Upper Lateral Quadrant
- Ilio-Hypo-Gastric
- L1 - Anterior Rami
- T12
Origin and Insertion of Gluteus MAXIMUS
Origin
- Post Gluteal Line of Ilium
- Surfaces of Sacrum
- Coccyx
- Sacrotuberous ligament
Insertion
- Gluteal tuberosity
- Iliac-tibial tract
What portion of the Acetabular fossa participates in the articulation?
The Outer HORSE-SHOE shaped potion
Origin and Insertion of the Gluteus Minimus
Origin
- Ilium b/w Ant. And Inf. Gluteal Lines
Insertion
- Ant border of the Greater TROCHANTER
- Same as Gluteus Medius
Fxn of the Greater Sciatic Foramen
Main door for passage of structures from Pelvis to Thigh
Q-Angle
Created by the Intersection of:
- Long axes of the Tibia
- Femur
Trendelenburg Test
- Evaluates strength of Gluteal MEDIUS
- Pt stands up and raises one foot of the ground
- Contralateral gluteus Med should lower CL hip and raise IL Hip
- Needed to clear foot from the ground during swing phase of walking
Innervation of the Gluteus Maximus
Inferior GLUTEAL Nerve
- > L5
- > S1-S2
Innervation to the Acetabulum
- Femoral Nerve
2. Obturator Nerve
Lesser Sciatic Foramen
Passageway for structures entering or leaving PERINEUM
Blood Supply to the Hip Bone
Three total Arteries
1. Gluteal (Sup/Inf)
- FEMORAL Circumflex (MedLat)
- Obturator
Vascular Supply to the Gluteus Maximus
Inferior Gluteal Artery
- From Internal Iliac
