Question 2

Movements

Answer 2

Question 3

Articulations

Answer 3

Between ellipsoid head of femur and lunate surface of acetabulum hip bone

Question 4

What three Capsular ligaments make up the articular capsule of the hip joint

Answer 4

Illiofemoral, Pubofemoral, Ischiofemoral

Question 5

Illiofemoral ligament

Answer 5

Goes from the ilieum to femur

Question 6

Answer 6

Pubis to femur

Question 7

Answer 9

attaches round the inferior region of the acetabulum

Question 10

Where is the Acetabular labrum located?
And what does it do?

Answer 10

A ring of fibre cartilage surrounding the acetabulum. It deepens the acetabulum to allow better congruency at the joint.

Question 11

Vascular of the hip joint (5)

Answer 11

Medial and Lateral Circumflex Femoral Arteries, Obturator Artery, Superior and Inferior gluteal arteries.
Therefore disruption to the Periaticular Anastomosis can be very problematic or death of femur

Answer 12

Sciatic, Femoral, Obturator Nerves.

Answer 14

Transverse ligament of the acetabulum, ligament of head of femur

Question 15

What does the Bursae around the trochanteric help with?

Answer 15

Shock absorption and friction

Question 16

what does the acetabular fat pad help with?

Answer 16
