hip pathology Flashcards
acetabulum
faces laterally, inferiorly, and anteriorly
labrum
inverted horseshoe shaped cartilage
enhances joint stability, decreased forces transmitted to articular cartilage, provides proprioceptive feedback
majorly avascular
femur
strongest and longest bone
2/3 of head covered in cartilage
head angled ant, sup, and med
ward triangle
point on femur of weakness of trabecular system, common site for osteoporotic fracture
iliofemoral ligament
strongest ligament in the body
limits range of hip extension
allows for maintenance of upright posture
pubofemoral ligament
tightens with extension and abduction
ischiofemoral ligament
tightens with internal rotation
injured more than the other hip ligaments
ligamentum teres
attaches femoral head to inf acetabular rim
tightens during adduction, flexion, and ext rotation
femoral triangle
inguinal ligament add longus sartorius iliopsoas and pectineus femoral vein, artery, nerve
normal coxa
125
coxa vara
coxa valgus
> 140
increases length of LE
increase compressive forces to the joint
shortens moment arm of hip abductors
normal torsion angle
8-15
anteversion
> 15
end range ext rot
compensate with walking toe in
retroversion
open packed position of the hip
30 flexion
30 abduction
slight ext rot
closed packed position
max extension
internal rotation
slight abduction
capsular pattern
flexion=abduction=IR, slight loss extension, little to no loss in ER
hip flexion glide
post
hip extension glide
ant
hip abduction glide
inf
