Internal Hip Pathologies Flashcards
What is the position of the acetabulum?
lateral, inferior, and anterior
What is the position of the femoral head?
anterior, superior, and medially
The articular cartilage of the hip is thickest on the _____ portion of the femoral head.
What makes this special compared to the rest of the articular cartilage in the hip?
posterior/superior
It has less degeneration compared to the anterior/superior aspect which is more common for labral tears and osteophytes
definition: angle formed between the femoral head and acetabulum
angle of anteversion
What is the normal range of the angle of anteversion?
10-15 degrees
definition: angle of anteversion > 15 degrees
anteversion/ toe in
definition: angle of anteversion < 10 degrees
retroversion/toe out
The ___ portion of the acetabular labrum is continuous with the cartilaginous surface of the acetabulum
center portion of the acetabular labrum
The ___ portion of the acetabular labrum is continous with the hip joint capsule.
outer portion of the acetabular labrum
What part of the labrum is vascularized and innervated by sensory nerve fibers?
outer 1/3
The posterior aspect of the labrum is most stressed in hip ____.
hip flx
The anterior aspect of the labrum is most stressed with combined ___ and ___.
combined FLX and ADD
The 3 main ligaments of the hip are taut in ___ and loose in ___.
taut in hip EXT
loose in hip FLX
What ligament is the strongest ligament in the body?
iliofemoral ligament (Y ligament)
What does the iliofemoral ligament do?
- reinforces the anterior portion of the hip joint
- limites hip EXT and anterior gliding of the femur
What does the pubofemoral ligament do?
- Reinforces the medial aspect of the hip joint
- limits excessive hip EXT and ER
What does the iliofemoral ligament blend with?
iliopsoas muscle
What does the pubofemoral ligament blend with?
pectineus muscle
The ischiofemoral ligament wraps from the ____ aspect to ___aspect of the hip joint.
posterior to anterior aspect
What is the open packed position of the hip?
30 of flexion
30 abduction
slight ER
What is the close packed position of the hip?
Max extension, IR, & abduction
What is the capsular pattern of the hip?
FLX > IR > ABD
Describe hip flx and ext.
femoral head spins
describe hip ABD
femoral head rolls superiorly and glides inferiorly
describe hip ER
femoral head rolls posteriorly and glides anteriorly
describe hip IR
femoral head rolls anteriorly and glides posteriorly
