Hip/Pelvis Flashcards
Pelvis consists of four bones:
-right and left innominate (os coxae) or hip bones
-sacrum
-coccyx
Serves as the base for the trunk and a girdle for lower limb
pelvis
Composed of only the two hip bones
Pelvic Girdle
Other names for pelvic girdle
-os coxae
-innominate
These three bones come together to form the acetabulum
-illium
-ischium
-pubis
What does Illium, ischium, pubis form
acetabulum
-consists of a body and a broad, curved portion called the ala
-Body forms superior two fifths of acetabulum
Ilium
Four prominent processes of the Ilium
-Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
-anterior inferior iliac spine
-posterior superior iliac spine
-posterior inferior iliac spine
What is the superior margin of the ilium
iliac crest
what does the posterior inferior part of the ilium end in
the greater sciatic notch
What does the Ischium consist of
-body
-ischial ramus
Each bone of the pelvic girdle has three parts which are
-ilium
-ischium
-pubis
What is the cup shaped socket that articulates with the head of the femur
Pelvic gridle
Forms the posterior two fifths of aceabulum
Ischium
what does the ischial ramus join with
Ischial ramus joins with inferior ramus of pubis
expanded portion on which the trunk rests when seated
ischial tuberosity
located on upper, posterior part of the body
Ischial Spine
indentation just below ischial spine
lesser sciatic notch
-the area in which the head of the femur articulates
-ball and socket. joint
Acetabulum
What can we palpate on the pelvic girdle
-ASIS
-Iliac crest
Is the side down elongated or foreshortened
Elongated
Is the side up elongated or foreshortened
Foreshortened
What helps form the obturator foramen?
Ischial Tuberosity
The pubis consists of:
-body
-superior ramus
-inferior ramus
The body forms approximately one fifth of anterior acetabulum
The body of the Pubis
Formed by junction of ischial ramus and pubis inferior ramus
obturator foramen
Four mains parts of the proximal femure
Head
neck
Greater trochanter -out to the lateral
lesser trochanter- out to the medial
intertrochanteric line
A imaginary line that goes to greater to lesser
on the anterior aspect
Where is the intertrochanteric crest located
on the posterior aspect of the proximal femure
-Articulation between the right and left ilia and the sacrum
Sacroiliac (SI) joints
-articulation of the head of the femora with the acetabula
hip joints
what type of joint is the hip joint
-synovial, ball and socket
What type of joint are the SI joints
-irregular, gliding type
-junction of right and left pubic bones in the midline
-Cartilaginous, slightly moveable joint
Pubic sumphysis
Difference in male and females pelvic anatomy
Males
-heavier, narrower, deeper
-angle at pubic symphysis is acute
Females
-wider, shallower, lighter
-angle at pubic symphysis is obtuse
forms superior aperture (opening) or inlet of the true pelvis
Brim
what consists of the true pelvis
bladder, colon, female reproductive organs
what forms the outlet
inferior aperture
what are the bony landmarks
-iliac crest
-ASIS
-pubic symphysis
-greater trochanter
-ischial tuberosity
-tip of coccyx
What lies in the same horizontal plane as the midpoint of the hip joint and coccyx
Highest point of greater trochanter
what is in the same horizontal plane as the pubic symphysis
The most prominent point of greater trochanter
How to localize the hip joint
make a imaginary line from the anterior superior iliac spine to the superior margin of the pubic symphysis half way between go down 2 and a half inches and the neck will be right there
Essential projections of the pelvis
AP
what should you never do if a foot is straight out to one side
NEVER ROTATE A THE LEG that is turned out because at this point you know there is a fractured hip
