Hip and Knee Flashcards
The ball of the hip is also known as
Femoral Head

Acetabulum
Depth of acetabulum is increased by
fibrocartilaginous acetabular labrum and the transverse acetabular ligament
The head of hip is covered with articular cartilage except for
the pit or fovea for the ligament of the head of femur
The illeofemoral ligament prevets
hyperextension of hip
The pubofemora ligament prevents
overabduction of hip
The ischiofemoral ligament goes from
ischial part of acetabular rim to neck of femur
what is the chief flexor of hip
Iliopsoas
The hamstrings are made up of
Semitendinous Semimembranosus Biceps Femoris Long Head Gluteus Maximus Adductor Magnus Pos Part
