Hip Flashcards
What landmark serves as inferior attachment for rectus abdominis, superior attachment for adductor longus?
Pubic tubercle
What is the attachment site of pectineus which can generate groin pain?
Pectin pubis
What is the typical site of a trauamtic avulsion of adductor magnus?
Ischial ramus and tuberosity / sits bones
What directions does the socket face in normal alignment?
Anteriorly, laterally and inferiorly
What angle does the hip start at with birth and then is reduced to by adulthood with WB? (Frontal angle)
150 deg to 120-130 deg
Which angulation of the hip is defined as < 120 deg in the frontal plane?
Coxa varus
Which angulation of the hip is defined as > 120 deg in the frontal plane?
Coxa valgus
In the transverse plane, where does the hip start in anterior rotation and then progress to with adulthood?
40 deg to approx 9 by adulthood (10-25 is considered normal)
What is referred to as excessive anterior rotation of the hip from the transverse plane?
Anteversion - toe in gait
ANTE IN
With Craig’s test, is medial or lateral rotation normal?
8-15 deg of medial/internal rotation = normal anteversion
With Craig’s test, if one finds neutral to more ER with centering the femur, is this anteverted or retroverted alignment?
Retroverted
True/false: the deep fibers of glute max attach on the shaft of the femur.
True - attaches on gluteal tubercle/tuberosity
What lies at the center of the head of the femur?
Teres ligament - neurovascular supply
Is the entire head of the femur covered by hyaline cartilage?
No; center head/teres ligament region is not
Where does the femoral head have the greatest contact in the acetabulum during WB?
Anterior and posterior walls - greatest amt of cartilage here
Does a dysplastic/shallow socket or a deep socket of the acetabulum result in ligamentous laxity?
Dysplastic/shallow socket
How is the labrum vascularized? (inner vs outer)
Similar to meniscus, outer edge well vascularized where inner is much less
Which region of the labrum is not well vascularized and can result in more traumatic and degenerative tears?
Superior portion
Does the labrum have sensory endings?
Yes - proprioceptive endings
Which ligament has two branches, pars inferioris and pars superioris?
Iliofemoral or Y ligament
What motions does the Y ligament restrict?
Extension, adduction, ER
In the transverse fiber system of the joint capsule, the circular encasement around the neck forms what aspect of the joint capsule?
Zona orbicularis - large stability factor in the hip joint
What motion does the pubofemoral ligament restrict?
Abduction, ER - contributes to extension (anterior positioning)
What direction / activity is the ischiofemoral ligament taut in?
In the upright position with quiet standing
What are the two main directions the hip can be dislocated into?
Anterior/inferior - posterior
Where does a Hill Sachs lesion occur in the hip?
Posterior to posterlateral region of the femoral head
What two muscles have contributing fibers to the conjoint tendon?
Internal oblique and transversus abdominis
What muscle contributes to the inguinal canal via its aponeurosis?
External oblique
