Intro to Sacrum DSA Flashcards

1
Q

What is the appearance of the SI joint ligaments in males and females after puberty?

A

Male: SIJ ligaments are well-developed and strong

Female: SIJ ligaments are less developed, allowing mobility during childbirth

Q

What is the appearance of the SI joint in a patient’s 20s?

A

Crescent-shaped ridge develops along the iliac surface which articulates with a depression in the sacrum

Add stability and limits mobility

Q

Where does the Middle Transverse Axis of the sacrum pass through? When would the sacrum move around this axis?

A

Anterior aspect of S2

Nutation and counternutation in the standing position

17
Q

Where does the Inferior Transverse axis of the sacrum travel through? When would the sacrum move around it?

A

S3

Axis of movement of ilia on the sacrum

18
Q

As the lumbar spine extends, what is the sacrum doing?

19
Q

As the sacrum extends, what is the lumbar spine doing?

20
Q

What is the motion of the sacrum in counternutation?

A

Sacral extension

21
Q

What is the motion of the sacrum in nutation?

A

Sacral flexion

(Sacrum needs a drink, tilts foward as the “bowl” of the pelvis tips back)

22
Q

Rotation through the lumbar spine causes what movement of the sacrum?

A

Rotation towards ipsilateral side

Sidebending to contralateral side

23
Q

Downward force of the lumbar spine onto the sacrum causes what motion of the sacrum?

A

Nutation (sacral flexion)

24
Q

Traction applied from above the lumbosacral junction causes what motion of the sacrum?

A

Counternutation (sacral extension)

25
Q

Sidebending applied through the lumbar spine causes what motion of the sacrum?

A

Sidebending to the ipsilateral side

26
Q

What is the relationship of the movements of ilium and sacrum?

A

Move in the same direction

27
Q

An occipital condylar compression can cause what to occur in the sacrum?

A

Lowered sacral base on the ipsilateral side

28
Q

What is occurring in this XR?

A

Lumbarization of S1

May be unilateral or bilateral

29
Q

What is occurring in this XR?

A

Sacralization of L5

Note: atypically large TPs of L5

Bat wing deformity

May be unilateral or bilateral

30
Q

Sacrum dysfunction will commonly manifest as what symptom?

A

Chronic low back pain

31
Q

What are the two criteria for a compensated lumbar spine?

A
  1. Lumbar spine is rotated toward the deep sulcus (PTP and deep sulcus on the same side)
  2. Lumbar spine should be sidebent toward the axis in the case of a torsion
32
Q

What is the position of the compensated L5 for a flexed sacrum?

A

Neutral (Type 1 spinal mechanics)

33
Q

What is the position of the compensated L5 for an extended sacrum?

A

Flexed or extended (Type 2 Spinal mechanics)
