Gluteal Region- Diogo Flashcards
What is the function of the lower limb?
to bear the weight of the upper body and provide for the walking gait
The major features of walking involved movements at what joints?
hip, knee, ankle, and metatarsophalangeal joints
The coxal bone is a progressive fusion of which bones by cartilage?
pubis
ischium
ilium
The left, right coxal bones, and sacrum and coccyx are united by what joints?
1 pubic symphysis
2 sacroiliac joints
sacrococcygeal joint
What are the most commonly fractured parts of the bony pelvis?
superior and inferior pubic rami
especially for old people
What are the most commonly dislocated part of the bony pelvis?
pubic symphysis
What must be assumed until proven otherwise with pelvic fractures?
damaged bladder and urethra
high morbidity and mortality is associated with pelvic fractures because of attendant hemorrhagic shock and pelvic organ damage
Where is the fovea capitus located and which ligament and artery passes through it?
- on the head of femur
- ligament to the head of the femur houses the ligamentum teres artery which supplies the femoral head
What parts of the femur are most commonly fractured especially in the elderly?
femoral neck
-osteoporosis has a contribution to the genesis of this fracture
What are the palpable parts of the bony pelvis?
iliac crest, posterior superior iliac spine (at S2 vertebral level), sacrum, ischial tuberosity, and greater trochanter of the femur
The hip joint is a synovial joint in which the lead of the femur articulates with what parts of the acetabulum?
- lunate surface
- acetabular labrum
What type of cartilage covers the head of the femur, the lunate surface of the acetabulum and the acetabular labrum?
hyaline cartilage for both head of the femur and the lunate surface of the acetabulum
fibrous cartilage for the acetabular labrum
What forms the greater sciatic notch?
Posterior inferior iliac spine and ischial spine
What two prominences form the lesser sciatic notch?
ischial spine and ischial tuberosity
What ligament enclose the greater sciatic foramen?
sacrospinous ligament
posterior sacroiliac ligament
What is Ischial bursitis?
Ischial bursitis, sometimes called ischiogluteal bursitis, is an inflammation of the fluid-filled sac, or bursa, that lies between the ischial tuberosity (the lower part of the V-shaped bone that helps form the pelvis) and the tendon that attaches the hamstring muscle to the bone.
What ligament enclose the lesser sciatic foramen?
sacrotuberous ligament
What foramen is the pudendal nerve coming out of and going into?
going out the greater sciatic foramen and into the lesser sciatic foramen towards the pubic region (SHAME)
