Hip Flashcards
Acetabulum depth measured by
center edge angle
center of femoral head to acetablum (Bone)
measures rook over femural head or contact area
Hip coxofemoral joint
ball socket 3 DOF
weight bearing
decrease center edge angle
dyplasia instability shallow lack coverage
increase center angle
decrease ROM, impingement increase coverage
acetabulum seats how
laterally inferiorly and anterior tilt 38 degree
labrum
fibrocartilage deepens socket wedge shaped
proprioceptive nerve ending
femoral head
w/ hyaline cartilage except fovea (ligamentum teres)
Angle of inclination norm
down shaft and up neck to head of femur
110-144 frontal plane
coxa valga
increased angle
decreased MA of hip ABD
knock knees
decrease force on neck bending
coxa vara
decrease the angle
increase MA of hip ABD
bow legged
increase force neck of femur
femoral torsion norms
condyles of knee and head of femur
10 to 20
transverse plane
femoral torsion anteversion
>15-20 increase IR Decrease ER decrease MA ABD condyles of knee medially rotated increase Q angle
femoral torsion retroversion
<15 to 20
increase ER and decrease IR
Articular congruence best position
Hip flexed and ABD with ER
contact btw femur and acetabulum greatest
Hip joint
Thick ant and superior
femoral neck intracapsular
