Innominate Flashcards
What does the pelvis play a critical role in (4)?
- foundation for body support and movement
- reproduction (genital structures)
- elimination (GI and GU)
- vascular and lymphathic functions
What are the 3 bones of the innominate?
ilium, pubis, and ischium
What is the acetabulum?
where the 3 bones of the innominate (ilium, pubis, and ischium) fuse together
Name 4 anterior landmarks of the innominate
iliac crest, ASIS, AIIS, and pubic symphysis
Name 3 posterior landmarks of the innominate
PSIS, PIIS, ischial tuberosity
True ligaments vs accessory ligaments
- true ligaments: go from bone to bone
- accessory ligaments: attache to another ligament, tendon, or fascia
Sacrospinous L attachment
sacrum to spine of ischium
Iliolumbar L attachment
from ilia to 5th lumbar vertebrae
Anterior Sacroiliac L attachment
covers much of the sacroiliac joint
Inguinal L attachement
ASIS to superior pubic rami
Sacrotuberous L (STL) attachement
sacrum to ischial tuberosity
Posterior Sacroiliac L attachement
covers much of the sacroiliac joint
What are the 3 joints of the pelvis?
- sacroiliac joint
- acetabulum (hip joint)
- pubic symphysis
Interosseous Sacroiliac L location. What covers it as well?
- major bond between bones and fills irregular space posterosuperior to the joint
- covered posteriorly by posterior sacroiliac L.
What are the 2 major ligaments associated w/ the pubic symphysis?
superior and inferior pubic Ls. - located above and below the joint
Which direction does innominate move when you step forward (heel strike)? What does the contralateral innominate do?
Innominate moves posteriorly; contralateral inanimate moves anteriorly
What 2 muscles are involved in flexing the LE at the hip?
iliopsoas M. and Quadratus femoris M.
What 2 muscles are involved in extending the LE at the hip?
gluteus maximus M. and hamstring M.
