Hip Flashcards
articulating surfaces of the hip joint
-head of femur
-acetabulum of pelvic bone
movements of the hip joint
-flexion/extension
-abduction/adduction
-ER/IR
-circumduction (combination of all)
Gluteal lines
Anterior: iliac crest to greater sciatic foramen
posterior: iliac crest to PIIS
Inferior: anterior inferior iliac spine to acetabulum
Pelvic ligaments
-sacrospinous
-sacrotuberous
-obturator membrane
sacrospinous ligament
-ischial spine to sacrum
-almost horizontal
-forms part of greater sciatic foramen
sacrotuberous
-PSIS, sacrum and coccyx to ischial tuberosity
-almost vertical
-forms part of greater sciatic foramen
obturator membrane
fills obturator membrane and neurovascular structures pass through this foramen
Labrum and transverse acetabular ligament
-labrum surrounds the acetabulum
-ligament bridges space between the 2 inferior margins of the lunate surface
ligamentum teres
-ligament of the head of the femur
-attaches to the fovea (a depression in the head of the femur) to the acetabulum
hip ligaments
illofemoral
pubofemoral
ischiofemoral
