Hip Ligaments & Joint Structures Flashcards
Acetabular Labrum - Function
Fibrocartilage
- Increase bony fit - increase diameter & depth of acetabulum
- Decrease compressional stress (distribute force)
Path of Foveolar Artery
Comes off Obturator Artery –> through Acetabular notch (gap in articular cartilage) –> fovea capitis, supplies femoral head
Transverse Ligament (location/function)
Across acetabular notch (links bone to same bone- unusual!) Intrinsic
1. Protective barrier - lets foveolar artery pass without getting pinched
Ligamentum Teres of Head of Femur
Acetabular notch to head of femur, intrinsic
1. Surrounds foveolar artery to protect it
Iliofemoral Ligament
AIIS & Acetabular rim –> Intertrochanteric line
Capsular lig, anterior femur, forms upside down “Y”
1. Limits hyperextension
2. Limits Adduction
Pubofemoral Ligament
Superior pubic ramus –> inferior femoral neck
Capsular, inside of femoral neck
1. Limits hyperextension
2. Limits ABDuction
Ischiofemoral Ligament
Ischial acetabular rim –> Intertrochanteric line
Capsular, posterior, wraps around anteriorly
1. Limits hyperextension
2. Limits Internal rotation
Close packed position of hip
Hyperextension (3 ligaments pull joint closer together)
More prone to sublux in flexion
Sacroiliac Joint - type
Gliding synovial joint
Articular surface: auricular surface of ilium
Anterior Sacroiliac Ligament
Anterior auricular margins of sacrum & ilium
Capsular
Posterior sacroiliac ligament
PSIS & Auricular margins of sacrum & ilium
Capsular
Iliolumbar ligament
L4-L5 Transverse Process –> Iliac crest & anterior sacroiliac lig (Capsular)
Sacrotuberous ligament
Extrinsic
Anterior sacrum –> Ischial tuberosity
Prevent anterior tilt of sacrum (“tail sticking out)
Sacrospinous Ligament
Anterior sacrum –> Ischial spine
Extrinsic, deeper
Prevent anterior tilt of sacrum (tail sticking out)
Greater and Lesser Sciatic Foramina Boundaries
Greater: Greater sciatic notch, sacrotuberous lig, sacrospinous lig
Lesser: Lesser sciatic notch, sacrotuberous lig, sacrospinous lig (Sacrospinous divides foramina)
