Hip Flashcards
angle of inclination
femoral head and neck
occurs on frontal plane
Coxa Valga
>125 on angle of inclination

Coxa Vara
Angle of inclination < 125

angle of inclination serves to
optimaize joint surface alignment
Coxa Vara with high BMI
can result in slipped capital femoral epiphysis
Coxa vara pros and cons
pros increased mvmt arm from AB improve joint stability
cons increased bending moment arm icreases shear force and decreased fuctional length of hip AB
Coxa Valga pros and cons
pros - decreased bending mvmt arm decrases shear force and increased functional length of AB
cons decreased mvmt arm for AB and alignment may favor dislocation
angle of torsion
occurs in tansverse plane
15 degrees of anteversion
axis between head and femoral condyles
excessive anteversion on femur
incrases angle of torsion
reduces hip stability increased hip IR
commonl found with COXA VALGA
toe in gait
increases mvmt arm of AB
retroversion
decreasedd angle of torsion
increased hip ER
may casue impingement
shoulder vs hip angulation
shoulder retroversion
hip is anterversion
Coxa profunda
acetabular overcoverage more than 45 degrees
dysplasia
acetabular undercoverage less than 16 degrees
femor head coverage is determined by
acetabular depth
center edge angle
FAI cam
loss of natural tapering
inpingement may occur
FAI pincer
bony extension on acetabulum
deep acetabulum or overly retroverted
Max conguency in NWB acetabularfemoral
FL AB slight ER
forces on head of femur
top/superior head = tensile forces
bottom or inferior head = compressive forces
trabecullar systems in femur
strongest where they cross
weakest where they do not corss or thin
hip joint capsule
capsule thick anterior superiorly
thin and loose posterior inferiorly
iliofemoral lig
ant stability
IR and ER
pubofemoral
controls ER and EX
ischiofemoral lig
primary resist to IR
ligs that support you in hyperex
