18
Q

ischial spine

A
  • projects from posterior border
  • intervenes between greater and lesser sciatic notch
  • site for ligament attachment
  • used for measurement of pelvic opening
  • if it is too pointed, there is narrow opening for delivery of baby
19
Q

obturator foramen

A
  • “hole”
  • opening for nerves/ blood vessels
  • formed by ischium and pubis
  • filled by obturator membrane
20
Q

ischial ramus

A
  • point of connection with inferior ramus of pubis
  • lower thinner part
21
Q

pubis

A
  • thinner and smaller compared to ischium
  • more anterior
  • can be divided into: body, superior ramus, inferior ramus
22
Q

symphysis pubis

A
  • bodies of 2 pubic bones meet/ articulate with each other at midline anteriorly
  • cartilaginous joint
23
Q

superior ramus

A

joins the ilium and ischium at acetabulum

24
Q

inferior ramus

A

joins ischial ramus below the obturator foramen

25
Q

pubic crest

A
  • forms upper border of the body of the pubis
  • ends laterally at pubic tubercle
26
Q

acetabulum

A
  • outer surface
  • deep depression
  • > 2/5 ischium (lower and side; forms majority)
  • < 2/5 ilium (upper boundary)
  • 1/5 pubis (midline)
  • structures: acetabular notch & acetabular fossa
27
Q

acetabular notch

A
  • inferior margin
  • circular non-articular depression of acetabular fossa
28
Q

acetabular fossa

A
  • horseshoe shaped
  • articulation of femoral head
29
Q

sacrum

A
  • five rudimentary vertebrae fused together
30
Q

articulations of the sacrum

A
  • upper border = L5
  • inferior border = coccyx
  • lateral = 2 iliac bones at the sacroiliac joint (plain joint; gliding)
31
Q

structures of the sacrum

A
  • symphysis pubis
  • sacral promontory
  • sacral hiatus
  • sacral canal
32
Q

sacral promontory

A
  • S1
  • anterior and upper margin of S1 that forward
  • become the posterior margin of pelvic inlet
33
Q

sacral canal

A
  • formed by vertebral foramina
  • contains anterior and posterior roots of lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal
34
Q

sacral hiatus

A
  • laminae of S5
  • sometimes those of 4th, fail to meet at midline
35
Q

coccyx

A
  • tailbone
  • 4 vertebrae fused together
  • articulates at its base w lower end of sacrum
  • consists of bodies only
  • first vertebra posses rudimentary transverse process and cornua
36
Q

coccygeal cornua

A
  • remains of the pedicles and superior articular process
  • project upward to articulate with sacral cornua
37
Q

femur

A
  • upper end of the femur has a head, a neck, and
    greater and lesser trochanters
  • When born, about 180 degrees
38
Q

ANGLE OF INCLINATION

A

Starts to bend when baby starts to stand and walk

39
Q

COXA VARA

A
  • deformity of hip where
    angle of inclination is less
    than 120 degree
  • <120
  • Causes: fracture, fibrous
    dysplasia, rickets (low vit D),
    or traumatic proximal
    femoral epiphyseal plate
    closure, osteomyelitis,
    osteogenesis imperfecta,
    Paget’s disease
  • Presentation:
  • Limb length discrepancy
  • Prominent greater
    trochanter
  • Limitation of abduction
    and internal rotation of
    the hip
40
Q

COXA VALGA

A
  • deformity of hip where the
    angle of inclination is usually
    above 135 degrees
  • > 135
  • Causes: normal at birth;
    underlying neuromuscular
    diseases (cerebral palsy,
    spinal muscular atrophy,
    polio etc.) or skeletal
    diseases (hip dislocation,
    arthritis)
  • Presentation:
  • Limb length discrepancy
    (longer)
  • Impaired ambulation and
    sitting
  • Balance secondary to
    bilateral adduction
    contractures
