LECTURE 5A: HIP ANATOMY Flashcards
hip joint resting position
30 degrees flexion
30 degrees abduction
slight ER
closed pack position of hip joint
full ER, IR, ABD
hip joint has ___ degrees of freedom
3 degrees
hip joint is a ____ joint
synovial joint
convEX FEMUR on concave acetabulum
the head of the femur is ____ than the acetabulum
larger
*medially, superiorly, anteriorly
James Cyriax capsular pattern of the hip joint
- flexion
- abduction
- IR (in some cases, IR limited most)
*hip is bread and butter for capsular pattern!
If I want SIJ manipulation, what position is hip joint?
closed packed
*full extension, IR, abduction
osteoarthritis of the hip (JOINT) likely presents with…
capsular pattern
*lose flexion first (you have the most ROM to lose) , then abduction, then IR
sometimes, hip dysfunction (capsular pattern) will not follow normal capsular pattern but will lose ___ ROM first
INTERNAL ROTATION
If you see loss of ___ and they are not naturally ___, be suspicious of capsular pattern
lose IR
not naturally retroverted
What is the hip joint designed for?
STABILITY (transmit force between pelvis and LE)
*stability>mobility
undercoverage of femoral head by acetabulum
Hip dysplasia
excessive bony development/over coverage of femoral head by acetabulum
Femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI)
what is integral to successfully evaluating/treating hip dysfunction?
regional interdependence
*(treat back first if involved)
acetabulum is made of what three bones?
ilium, ischium, pubis
labral tear does what?
loss of negative pressure (passive stability) so MUSCLES PICK UP SLACK (fatigue)
The acetabulum faces ___, ___, ____ and is covered by ___
anterior, lateral, inferior
CONCAVE
covered by articular cartilage.
acetabular fossa is filled with ___
fat pad-important for shock absorption and proprioception
angle of inclination for femur in infants
150 (larger)
angulation of the femur (inclination) of the femoral neck/shaft NORMAL ADULTS
125-139 degrees
angle of inclination in elderly of femur
120
coxa valga is femur angle over ___
139 degrees
coxa vara is femur angle below ____
125
___ will cause shorter limb, STRUCTURAL LLD
coxa vara (more table top angle/sharper)
normal angle of torsion of femur (anteversion) for adults
10-15 degrees
normal angle of torsion of femur for infants
30 degrees
excessive anteversion is greater than ___ degrees
15 degrees
excessive anteversion causes
toe in, hip IR
