KNES 360 EXAM 2 Hip & Pelvis Flashcards
Femur
"Thigh bone" Longest and strongest bone in the body Landmarks: -Femoral head & neck -Greater trochanter -Lesser trochanter -Epicondyles
Pelvis
"Hip bone" AKA innominate bone Three fused bones in one: -Illium: Superior -Pubis: Anterior/Inferior -Ischium: Posterior/Inferior Bony landmarks: Acetabulum (socket) Illiac Crest ASIS PSIS Ischial Tuberosity
Sacrum
Triangular shaped
Fites between pelvic bones
Five fused bones in one: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5
Terminates at coccyx (tail bone)
Acetabular Joint
Bones: -Head of Femur -Acetabulum of Pelvis "Ball and Socket" Very strong joint because: -Bony architecture -Thick fibrous ligaments -Several muscles cross joint
Hip Labrum
Rim of cartilage around the hip socket Function: -Deepens socket to keep head of femur in the acetabulum -Provides buttress -Increases stability
Sacroiliac (“SI”) Joint
Bones:
-Pelvis
-Sacrum
Very little motion
Gluteus Maximus
O: Outer surface of ilium behind posterior gluteal line, sacrum, coccyx
I: Iliotibial tract (IT band) and gluteal tuberosity on femur
A: Upper: Hip abduction and external rotation
Lower: Hip extension and external rotation
IN: Inferior Gluteal Nerve
Gluteus Medius
O: Outer surface of allium inferior to iliac crest
I: Lateral surface of greater trochanter
A: Hip abduction and internal rotation; HIP ER when flexed 90 degress
IN: Superior Gluteal Nerve
Gluteus Minimus
O: Outer surface of allium between middle and inferior gluteal lines
I: Anterior surface of greater trochanter
A: Hip abduction and internal rotation
IN: Superior Gluteal Nerve
Piriformis
O: Internal surface of the sacrum
I: Superior border of the greater trochanter
A: Hip abduction and external rotation
IN: Anterior rami of 1st and 2nd sacral nerves
Obturator Internus
O: Posterior surface of obturator membrane
I: Common tendon with gemelli to medial surface of greater trochanter
A: Hip external rotation
IN: Nerve from sacral plexus
Obturator Externus
O: Outer surface of pubis and ischium
I: Trochanteric fossa of femur
A: Hip external rotation
IN: Obturator Nerve
Quadratus Femoris
O: Lateral border of the ischial tuberosity
I: Below intertrochanteric crest
A: Hip external rotation
IN: Sacral Plexus
Gemellus Superior
O: Ischial Spine
I: With tendon obturator internus to upper border of greater trochanter
A: Hip external rotation
IN: Branch of nerve to obturator internus
Gemellus Inferior
O: Upper margin of ischial tuberosity
I: With tendon of obturator internus to the upper border of the greater trochanter
A: Hip external rotation
IN: Branch of nerve to quadratus femoris
