Q

Describe the acetabulum

Q

Describe lower center edge angle

A
  • the acetabulum is not covering as much of the femoral head
  • consequences include less joint compaction during normal loading, can dislocate, less of an interface can increase contact pressures, stability problems, exposure, & can wear and tear

Q

Describe what happens to the ligaments during hip extension

A
  • hip extension creates a spring like mechanism of the ischiofemoral & iliofemoral ligaments
  • can use passive restraint for hip control by relying on ligamentous structures
