Q

Why can compensation patterns with excessive anteversion cause future issues?

A

-Overtime it may cause shortening of muscles and ligaments crossing hip and reducing ER of the hip

Q

Femoral head coverage is determined by acetabular _____

A

depth

22
Q

What is the center edge angle? Normal range?

A

measurement of acetabular depth

-25-35 degrees

23
Q

What is the degree for coxa profunda/acetabular overcoverage?

A

> 45 degrees

24
Q

What is Anteversion of Acetabulum and normal range?

A

extent to which acetabulum faces anteriorly

-normal = 20 degrees

25
Q

Acetabular Abnormalities: Abetabular dysplasia

A

shallow acetabulum

26
Q

Acetabular Abnormalities: Coxa profunda/Acetabular overcoverage

A

Acetabulum excessively covers the femoral head

27
Q

Excessive anteversion of the Acetabulum can lead to..

A

instability and dislocation

28
Q

Excessive retroversion of the Acetabulum can lead to..

A

over coverage/impingement

29
Q

Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI): Cam deformity

A
  • Extra bone at anterior-superior region of femoral head and neck junction
  • Loss of natural tapering of femoral head
  • Impingement occurs of bulge of femoral head against the acetabulum
30
Q

Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI): Pincer deformity

A
  • Abnormal bony extension of anterior-lateral rim of acetabulum
  • Often associated with deep acetabulum or overly retroverted acetabulum
31
Q

Articular Congruence:

Maximal congruency in non-weight-bearing position:

A

Flexion, abduction, slight external rotation

32
Q

Articular Congruence: This position is utilized in the diagnosis of _______ to improve joint congruency

A

hip dysplasia

33
Q

How is the hip bone articular congruency different from most joints?

A

Most joints have theirs in a closed packed position but the hip does not

34
Q

Structural Adaptations to Weight Bearing:

Bending moment

A

Half the weight of HAT passes down through pelvis & GRF travels up the shaft

35
Q

Superior and Inferior forces in Bending moment

A

Superiorly: tensile force
Inferiorly: compressive force

36
Q

Trabecular systems

A
  • Provide structural resistance
  • Strongest where they cross at right angles
  • Zone of weakness is where they are thin and do not cross
37
Q

Hip joint capsule is a substantial contributor to hip joint ______

A

stability

38
Q

Fibers of Hip joint capsule

A

Irregular, dense fibrous structure (longitudinal and oblique fibers)

39
Q

Capsule of Hip joint is thickened _______

A

anterosuperiorly

-where predominate stresses occur

40
Q

Capsule of Hip joint is thin and loose ______

A

posteroinferiorly

-most likely to dislocate posteriorly

41
Q

Iliofemoral ligament limits what and provides stability where?

A
  • IR and ER

- provides anterior stability to joint

42
Q

Pubofemoral ligament limits

A

ER in extension

43
Q

Ischiofemoral ligament limits

A

IR

44
Q

All ligaments of the hip joint tighten when? Passive tension when?

A
  • All tighten with hyperextension

- Passive tension in capsule and ligaments at rest in standing

45
Q

Transverse acetabular ligament

A
  • part of labrum
  • no cartilage cells
  • protects the blood vessels that travel beneath it to get to the head of the femur
46
Q

Acetabular labrum shape and function

A
  • wedge shaped

- deepens concavity

47
Q

Ligamentum teres function? What movement can injure it?

A
  • traditionally believed to serve only as a conduit for blood supply to femoral head
  • excessive ER can strain/potentially tear
48
Q

The neck of the femur is angulated so that the head faces ….

A

medially, superiorly and anteriorly with respect to the femoral shaft and distal femoral condyles

49
Q

Ambulating with toe-in _________ moment arm of hip abductors muscle leverage

A

50
Q

With both Cam and Pincer deformities, what movement can cause impingement?

A
