lec 8 hip joint Flashcards
hip joint involves articulation between what
acetabulum of os coxae and head of femur
what type is hip joint
synovial-ball and socket “sphenoid”
motions of hip joint
multiaxial
What motion pair rotates around an A-P axis?
abduction adduction
What motion pair rotates around a medial-lateral axis?
flexion extension
What motion pair rotates around a longitudinal axis? (Vertical)
medial lateral rotation
In what planes can the hip joint rotate?
coronal
sagittal
transverse
Where in the hipjoint is the hyaline cartilage the thickest?
Anterosuperiorly where weight transfer is the greatest
what part of hip joint not covered in hyaline cartilage
fovea
What are the 3 special intracapsular structures of the hip joint?
- Transverse acetabular ligament
- Ligament of the head of the femur
- Acetabular labrum
What runs within the ligament of the head of the femur?
An artery that is a branch of the obturator artery
proximal attachment of hip bone
Rim of acetabulum, external surface of labrum, TAL
distal attachment of femur
Anteriorly - greater trochanter, interotrochanteric line, tubercle of femur, femoral neck
Posteriorly - covers the femoral neck
Retinacula of the hip joint capsule
deep fibers of the capsule that are reflected onto the femoral neck (along with reflection of synovium) and transmit blood vessels (from medial & lateral circumflex femoral arteries) to head & neck of femur
what happens when you fracture neck of femur
interrupt blood supply
