Hip Flashcards
Functions of hip movements
- Positions lower limb in space
- Lowers/raises body from ground
- Brings foot closer to trunk.
Coaptation force of hip

Anterior fibres: hip flexion, medial rotation. Anterior pelvic tilt
IL hip depression
CL hip rotation
Superior gluteal nerve (L4-S1)
Superior gluteal artery
Iliopectineal bursa
Anterior hip joint and pubis, deep to iliopsoas.
Large
Can communicate with hip joint anteriorly through a space between pubofemoral and iliofemoral ligaments
Pain in groin
Radiates down medial thigh
Insidious onset
Pain with resisted flexion and passive extension
Iliopectineal bursitis
Trochanteric Bursa
Between greater trochanter and gluteals(reduces friction between the two)
Superficial to joint capsule
Most extensive posterolaterally
Most commonly inflamed
Pain over lateral hip
Possible referral to lateral knee and thigh
Possible snapping
Pain going up stairs, sitting cross legged, sleeping on affected side.
Trochanteric bursitis
Ishiogluteal Bursa
Between ischial tuberosity and gluteus maximus; adds cushioning
Often affected in people in wheelchairs who have constant pressure and atrophied glutes
Anteversion (according to H&K)
“… a positional change in which wither the acetabulum or the head and neck of the femur are directly anterior relative to the frontal plane”
Normal angle of anteversion
8-15º
Anteverted Hip: Presentation
Excess medial rotation and decreased external rotation
Toe-in gait
Pain and tenderness over or just about ischial tuberosity
Possible referral down hamstrings
Pain with sitting, walking, climbing stairs, hip and trunk flexion
Ischiogluteal bursitis
Retroverted Hip: Presentation
Excess external rotation and decreased internal rotation
Toe-out gait
Angle of Inclination
Angle of the femoral neck vs angle of femoral shaft
Frontal plane
Normally 125º in adults (150º in children)
Coxa Valgum
Increased angle of inclination (150º)
Leads to genu varus
Coxa Varum
Decreased angle of inclination (110º)
Leads to genu valgus
Angle of Torsion/Declination (according to H&K)
The angle of the axis of the head and neck of the femur vis a vis the transcondylar axis
Normally 15º
Antetorsion
Osseus anomaly
Increased angle of torsion/declination (30º) caused by medial twist in the femur (distal on proximal)
Presents with toe in (non compensatory) or compensatory toe out gait
Medially displaced (“winking”) patella
Retrotorsion
Osseus anomaly
Decreased angle of torsion/declination (5º) caused by a lateral twist in the femur (distal on proximal)
The intrinsic stability of the hip is provided by:
- the acetabulum and labrum
- coaptation force
- ligaments
The Hip: Coaptation Force
The vacuum force created because of the large surface area of contact between the acetabulum and the femur.
Approximately 25 kg of atmospheric pressure
Hip: Ligaments
Iliofemoral Ischiofemoral Pubofemoral Ligamentum Teres Transverse
Iliofemoral ligament
AKA Y ligament, ligament of Bigelow
Lower AIIS and post-sup rim of acetabulum –> intertrochanteric line of the femur
Twists around anterior joint.
Strongest ligament in the body
Checks EXT and IR
Ischiofemoral ligament
Post-inf rim of acetabulum –> post-sup neck of the femur
Checks EXT and IR
Pubofemoral ligament
Pubis –> just anterior to lesser trochanter
Checks EXT, IR and mayber ABD
