ASIS is backward
Pubic symphysis moves forward
Compression on L5-S1 joint

68
Q

Characterized by a neck-shaft angle greater than 125 degrees. The angle is “straighter”. Tends to make the limb longer, thus placing the hip in an adducted position during weight-bearing

A

Coxa Valga

69
Q

A deformity in which the neck-shaft angle is less than the normal 125 degrees. It is “more bent” it tends to make the involved limb shorter, dropping the pelvis on that side during weight bearing

70
Q

The angle between the shaft and the neck of the femur in the transverse plane

A

Angle of Torsion

71
Q

Increase in angle which forces the hip joint into a more medially rotated position. This causes a person to walk more “toed in”

A

Anteversion

72
Q

A decrease in the angle of torsion and forces the hip joint into a more laterally rotated position causing the person to walk more “toed out”

A

Retroversion

73
Q

Pelvic surface of symphysis pubis faces

A

Upward and backward

74
Q

Pelvic surface of anterior surface of sacrum

A

Forward and downward

Falciform margin

77
Q

The saphenous opening is filled with loose connective tissue

A

Cribrifrom fascia

78
Q

False Pelvis is bounded by

A

Poste: Lumbar Vertebrae
Laterally: Iliac fossae and the iliacus
Ante: Lower part of the anterior abdominal wall (supports the abdominal contents)

79
Q

Posterior Pelvic Wall is formed by

A

Sacrum
Coccyx
Piriformis

80
Q

Actions of Levator Ani

A
  1. Muscles of the two sides form an efficient muscular sling that supports and maintains the pelvic viscera in position
  2. They resist the rise in intra pelvic pressure during the straining and expulsive efforts of the abdominal muscles (as in coughing)
  3. They have a very important role in maintaining the fecal continence
  4. They serve as a vaginal sphincter in the female
81
Q

Stretches between the two sides of the pubic arch and covers the anterior part of the outlet

A

Perineal membrane

82
Q

left hip medial rotation

84
Q

With right backward rotation of the pelvis, there is
