Q

Where is the acetabulum deficient and why?

A

17
Q

Where does the capsule attach distally?

A

Anteriorly to trochanteric line and posteriorly to femoral neck above trochanteric crest

18
Q

Describe the orientation of the layers of hip joint capsule (external and internal)

A

External = longitudinally oriented

Internal = circularly oriented

19
Q

Describe the Zona orbicularis of the hip

A

Encircles proximal femoral neck, indents the synovium, no bony attachment

20
Q

What does the zona orbicularis of the hip do?

A

Divides synovial cavity into medial and lateral recess

21
Q

Describe the shape and direction of the acetabulum

A

Roughly concave and hemispheric

Projects anterolaterally and inferiorly

22
Q

Describe the central fossa of the acetabulum (3)

A

Central fossa

  • non-articular
  • filled with loose areolar tissue
  • covered with synovium (fat pad) for proprioception
23
Q

Where is the acetabulum broadest?

A

Broadest superiorly (resist WB)

24
Q

Hip nerves (segmental, peripheral, other)

A

L2-S1

Peripheral (obturator nerve and branches) - to capsule and intraarticular structures

Other - Accessory articular branches of femoral, superior gluteal and sciatic nerves supply each muscle crossing the hip

25
Q

What arteries supply the hip joint?

A

Femoral arteries

  • medial circumflex
  • lateral circumflex

Foveal artery

26
Q

What contribution does the foveal artery make?

A

Small contribution

Avoid avascular necrosis of femoral head with disruption of circumflex arteries

27
Q

What are the two important anastomoses of the hip?

A

Anastamoses

  • Cruciate
  • Trochanteric
28
Q

What are the bursae of the hip? (and where are they located)

A

BURSAE

  • Greater trochanteric
  • Gluteofemoral (between gluteus maximus and linea aspera)
  • Ischial/ischiogluteal (between gluteus medius and ischial tuberosity)
  • Iliopectineal (separates external hip joint capsule and iliopsoas)
  • Psoas (psoas and lesser trochanter)
  • Iliac (insertion of iliopsoas into lesser trochanter)
29
Q

What muscles internally rotate the hip?

A

Gluteus minimus and medius with hip extended

TFL

Semitendinosis

Semimembranosus

30
Q

What muscles ABduct the hip?

A

TFL

Gluteus medius

Gluteus minimus

31
Q

What muscles ADduct the hip?

A

Adductors

  • magnus
  • longus
  • brevis

Gracilis

Pectineus

32
Q

What muscles flex the hip?

A

Iliopsoas

Sartorius

Rectus femoris

33
Q

What muscles extend the hip?

A

Gluteus maximus

34
Q

What are the 6 deep muscles that externally rotate the hip?

A

Deep

  • Piriformis
  • Gamellus superior and inferior
  • Obturator internus and externus
  • Quadratus femoris
35
Q

What other 4 muscles externally rotate the hip?

A

Other

  • Gluteus maximus (lower fibres)
  • Gluteus medius and minimus when hip is flexed
  • Psoas maj/min
  • Sartorius
36
Q

What is this hip ligament (#1)?

A
