hip Flashcards
Classify the hip joint
-diarthrodial
ball and socket
3 degrees of freedom
How does the acetabulum face
-faces laterally, slightly inferior and anterior
-anteversion: silt anterior tilt (too much will make it unstable)
what fraction of the acetabulum does the pelvic bones make up?
ilium: 2/5
ischium: 2/5
pubis 1/5
acetabulum articular cartailge
horseshoe shaped at the WB parts of the joint (superiorly to posteriorly)
center edge angle/angle of Wilberg
how much of the acetabulum is present to cover the femur
-35-40%
-men are closer to 40% and wormen are closer to 35%
-anything less than 35% puts you at more of a risk of dislocation
acetabuluar labrum
goes around the periferi to deepen the socket
What is the normal angulation of the femur head to the shaft
125
-140-150 at birth but decreases as the baby starts to WB
coxa valga
when the angulation of the femur head to the shaft is >125
-causes genu vara (knee varus)
coxa vara
when the angulation of the femur to the shaft is <125
-causes genu valgus
Femoral head angle of torsion
10-15 normal anteversion
-positioned forward (anterior to frontal plane)
-anything below 10 anteversion is considered retroversion of the femoral head
excessive anteversion
greater than 15
IR hip so head is firm in the acetabulum and stand with toes pointed in
retroversion
less than 10 anteversion
-ER the hip so head is firm in the acetabulum and stand with toes out
when is the hip joint congruent
when the hip is flexed 30, abd 30 and slightly ER
What are the hip joint ligaments
-capsule:
-iliofemor
-pbofemoral
-ischiofemoral
hip joint capsule
thick superiorly and acts as sleeve
iliofemoral ligament
AIIS to intertrochantic line
-shaped like an inverted Y
-taut in ER and Ext
