hip and groin Flashcards
3 main bones in hip + cartilage inbetween
pubis, ischium, ilium, Triradiate cartilage
location of Sciatic Notches
form a gap around the pelvis for blood vessels and nerves to pass through
-greater notch contains the sciatic nerve and bigger blood vessels + lesser notch opposite
3 structures passing through the Obturator Foramen
-Obturator nerve
-Obturator artery
-Obturator vein
2 main ligaments in Pubic Symphysis joint
-superior pubic ligament
-inferior pubic ligament
3 main Sacroiliac joints + location
-articulates with the ilium and sacrum
-anterior sacroiliac ligament
-interosseous sacroiliac ligament
-posterior sacroiliac ligament
small pit in head of femur
fovea, provides attachment site for a ligament
location of intertrochantic line
anterior surface of femur
composition of hip joint
-acetabulum almost entirely encompasses spherical head of femur
-outer rim of acetabulum has acetabular labrum
-labrum bridges across acetabular notch
movements of hip joint
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
Medial+lateral rotation, Circumduction
location and role of femoral triangle + 3 borders
-anterior thigh, provides passage for nerves and vessels
-superior (inguinal ligament), lateral (sartorius muscle) and medial (adductor longus muscle)
origin, insertion, what it does, can u contract it, bony landmarks, palpate ligament from origin to insertion + lower back, joint lines
