what kind of joint is sacro-ileac joint?
synovial
bones of the pelvis?
large ilium, sacrum, pubis, ischium
what do we sit on?
ischium, on ischial tuberosity
where does femur articular with pelvis?
acetabular fossa - synovial joint
what 3 bones fuse in acetabulum?
ilium, pubis, ischium
whose acetabular fossa is shallower- newborn or adult?
newborn - so dangerous to straight baby and slam butt, b/c can dislocate the hip
what is the biggest bone in the body?
femur
technical name of hip joint?
acetabulofemoral joint
technical name of knee joint?
genual joint
what articulates with acetabulofemoral fossa?
head of femur
proximal vs distal femur?
proximal- at acetabulofemoral joint; ditasl- at genual joint
features of head of femur
greater trochanter, lesser trochanter, trochanteric crest, head, fovea capitis, neck, pectineal line, linea aspera
features of distal femur
lateral epicondyle, medial epicondyle, patellar surface, intercondylar fossa, lateral condyle
what connects to lesser trochanter of femur?
ONLY the ileopsoas m.
what is the linea aspera?
surface on posterior portion of femur where adductor muscles attach
why so dangerous to break hip?
get avascular necrosis - lots of blood
what are swellings on long bones called?
condyles
what part of leg articulates w/ femur?
proximal portion of tibia’s tibial tuberoscity
structures of patella
patellar surface; medial groove; lateral groove; lateral epicondyl; medial epicondyle; semilunar area; lateral condyle; medial condyle
what is the largest sesamoid bone in the body?
patella
“sesamoid” means?
“seed”
what are sesamoids
bones in the tendons of muscles
patella function?
leverage for quadriceps muscles in thigh; extending knee joint
latin for leg?
“crus” pl: “crura”
why are compartments significant?
1) functionality, 2) clinically don’t want to spread problems across compartments
