Joints Flashcards
Sacroiliac Joint is what between?
rigid articulation between auricular surfaces of Ilia and scarum
covered in:
hyaline cartilage
children display typical
synovial joint
puberty hits and it becomes:
modified amphiarthrodial (fibrocartliage)
the joint surface becomes:
rugose- roughed
Rugose does what?
increases congruence and restricting ROM
SI joint function
stable base for load transfer from axial skeleton to lower limbs
SI joint motion limited to
Sagittal plane
Nutation
NOD
anterior tilt of sacral base relative to ilim
Counternutation
posterior tilt of the sacral base relative to ilium
Primary SI Jt ligaments
Anterior SI Ligament
Interosseous SI Ligament
Posterior SI Ligament
Secondary Ligaments
Sacrotuberous
Sacrospinous
ST and SSP do what?
transfer weight of axial skeleton to hip joint during weight bearing
help limit AXIAL ROTATION of sacrum on ilium with weight transmission
Hip joint is what?
synovial
ball & socket
3 degrees of freedom
flex/exten
AB/AD
Inter/Extern rotation
reinforced by:
strong fibrous capsule
capsular ligaments
labrum
dynamic musculature
angle of inclination
line between shaft of femur and long axis of the femoral neck & head
normal inclination
125 degrees
coxa vara
DECREASED angle of inclination (frontal plane)
coxa valga
INCREASED angle of inclination (frontal plane)
femoral torsion
relative rotation between shaft of femur and neck
line is drawn between:
long axis of the femoral neck and
line between posterior aspects of the femoral condyles and transverse plane
normal torsion
12-15 degrees
anteversion
abnormal increase in the angle
