Hip Flashcards
What are the 3 bones of the pelvis?
Ilium, Ischium, Pubis
What is the position of the acetabulum?
50 degrees inferior and 20 degrees anterior
What is acetabular dysplasia
Shallow acetabulum
Retroversion- acetabulum is more posterior leading to _____ coverage
over-coverage (opposite of instability)
Anteversion- acetabulum is Positioned more anteriorly leading to _________
Instability
What is coxa profunda
overcoverage of the acetabulum leading to impingement
The center edge angle of the hip is between the _______ and center of femoral head
lateral rim of acetabulum
The angle of acetabular inclination is measured from parallel to the teardrops and the _______
typically :
lateral acetabulum
32-45
Note: if it’s too large it’s indicative of dysplasia
Functions of acetabular labrum
deepen socket
maintain negative pressure
contains nerve endings
T or false: The femoral fovea is covered w/ hyaline cartilage
false
The femoral head faces….
Faces medially, superiorly, anteriorly
Cova valga is associated with structual genu______
Coxa Vara is associated with structural genu _____
Varum
Valum
Coxa vara _______ the frontal plane measurement
decreases the angle of
Larger MA for abductors
increased bending/shear
Cova valga ________ the frontal angle
increases
decreases MA for abductors
instability and femoroacetabular impingement
Kids with CP tend to have coxa _______
valga AND present with genu Valgum
Whereas normally you see Coxa Valga paired w/ genu varum
The normal femoral angle of torsion is…
anteversion is……
Retroversion is…..
10-20 (how much the femur is angled anteriorly)
Anteversion over 15-20 (angled even more anteriorly)
Retroversion Under 10-15 (angled less anteriorly)
Anteversion is associated wth ______ hip rotation
retroversion is associated with ______ hip rotation
Anteversion- medial hip rotation
Retroversion- lateral hip rotation
note: these are both measures of the angle of torsion in the transverse plane
Most joint congruence at the hip occurs in…
Flexion, abduction, and slight lateral rotation (frog position)
FABER
In standing the femoral head is exposed on what sides
anteriorly and superiorly
The femoral neck is intracapsular and the greater and lesser trochanter are ________
extracapsular
The hip joint capsule is thickest _____ and thinnest _______
anteriorly
Posteriorly
What bursa reduces friction of the glute max, ITB, and greater trochanter
lateral bursa
Ligamentum teres is _____articular and _____synovial
intra-articular
extra-synovial
note: attaches acetabular notch to fovea of femur
What motion does ligamentum teres restrain?
Medial and lateral hip rotation when in over 90 degrees of hip flexion
What hip ligament resists excessive lateral rotation, especially w/ hip in neutral or flexion
Iliofemoral ligament ( Y ligament)
note: primary stabilizing component of anterior hip)
AIIS to intertrochanteric line
What does the pubofemoral ligament do?
resists lateral rotation when hip is in extension
What ligament is the primary restraint to hip medial rotation?
ischiofemoral ligament
What is the close packed position of the hip?
Extension, slight abduction, medial rotation
loose packed: mid range flexion, slight abduction+ medial rotation (close packed and loose packed are not complete opposites)
both closed and loose packed include medial rotation and slight abduction
the joint capsule and ligaments support ______ of bodyweight without muscular assistance
2/3
line of gravity falls ______ to hip creating a ________ moment
posterior
extension
