Hip Joint Flashcards
what is the purpose of the hip joint?
movement of LE; weight bearing (standing, ambulation)
what are the bones involved in the hip joint?
femur and innominate bones
what are the landmarks of the femur?
Head
Greater trochanter
Lesser trochanter introchanteric crest
Gluteal tuberosity
describe the different parts and landmark of the innominate bones?
Parts: ilium, ischium, pubis
Landmark: acetabulum
what is the hip joint known as?
acetabulofemoral joint
describe the hip joint.
- Bones: head of femur, acetabulum of pelvis
- enarthrodial/ball and socket joint
- Few dislocations/subluxations because of large supportive muscles
- Wide ROM
what are the 4 ligaments in the hip joint?
- Iliofemoral / Y ligament: prevents hyperextension
- Pubofemoral ligament: limits EOR extension and ABD
- Ligamentum Teres: limits ADD
- Ischiofemoral ligament: limits IR
what hip movement occurs in the sagittal plane?
Sagittal plane
- Flexion - forward - 120 degrees
- Extension - backward - 30 degrees
what hip movement occurs in the frontal plane?
- ABD - away from midline - 45 degrees
- ADD - toward midline - 0-30 degrees
what hip movement occurs in the transverse plane?
- ER - knee/foot points laterally out - 50 degrees
- IR - knee/foot points medially in - 45 degrees
what anterior muscles are involved in the hip joint?
rectus femoris
what medial muscles are involved in the hip joint
- Adductors (longus, brevis, magnus)
- Gracilis
what posterior muscles are involved in the hip joint?
- Biceps femoris
- Semitendinosus
- Semimembranosus
what are the 3 compartment of the hip joint and how are they divided?
- Anterior, medial, and posterior
- Intermuscular septa acts as dividers
rectus femoris origin, insertion, movement, and innervation
- Origin
Anterior inferior iliac spine
Superior to acetabulum - Insertion
Patella
Tibial tuberosity via patellar
tendon - Movement
Hip flexion
Pelvis anterior tilt
Knee extension - Innervation - femoral nerve (L2-L4)
