Q

Parts of Acetabulum

A

1)Acetabular fossa: the center

2)ACETABULAR LABRUM: Stabilizes the head of femur

3)Lunate surface: Articulates with head of femur

4)Acetabular foramen “notch”

5)Transverse Acetabular ligament: helps the ACETABULAR LABRUM to inferiorly bridge across the Acetabular notch by the (transverse ligament)

Q

Angle between neck & shaft (NSA)

A

<120 = Vara (decreased angle)
- Knees knock in (Valgus)

125= Normal

> 140 = Varsus (increased angle)
- Knees bow out (Vargas)

Q

Ligament of the head of femur (Ligamentum teres)

A
  • flat band of connective tissue
  • attaches at one end of the fovea to the head of femur & at the other end to the Acetabular fossa, transverse ligament, & margins of the Acetabular notch
  • carries a small branch of the obturator artery, which contributed to the blood supply of the head of the femur

Q

Fibrous membrane

A
  • Gives stability to joint
    *Encloses hip joint
    [Attached to the margin of the acetabulum, the transverse Acetabular ligament & the adjacent margin of the obturator foramen. Laterally attached to the intertrochanteric line on the anterior aspect of femur & to the neck of femur proximal to the intertochanteric crest on the posterior side]
