lecture 8 hip Flashcards
the ligamnets of the hip go from where to the femur
ilium
ischium
pubis
what does the femoral head sit in
acetabulum
where is the greater trochanter
superior and more lateral
what is between the two trochanter
intertrochanteric line
which side is the intertrochanteric line on
anterior side
what is on the proximal posterior side of the femur
trochanteric crest
where on the femur does the gluteus maximus insert
gluteal tuberosity
where does mos of the gluteus maximus insert
iliotibial band
bones that make up the pelvis
pubis
ilium
ischium
how may blood vessels access the femur
ligament
what is the ligament called that allows the bloood vessels into the femur
transverse acetabular ligament
obturator artery gives off a branch which supplies the head of the femur, what is this called
artery to the head of the femur/foveolar artery
were does the artery of the head of the femur go so it wont be compressed?
acetabular foramen
what are the hip joint ligaments
iliofemoral
ischiofemoral
pubofemoral
main hip flexor
psoas major
where do psoas major and minor both insert
lesser trochanter
under what structure are the psoas muscles known as one muscle
under the inguinal ligament
what is it called when the psoas msucles come together
iliopsoas
what arteries does the femoral artery give off
medial and lateral circumflex
why is the foveal artery big in children
there is a growth plate so its the only thing supplying the head of the femur
what can happen if you fracture the neck of the femur
avascular necrosis
what will you see if someone fractures the neck of the femur
shorter limb
external rotation
gluteus maximus is innervated by
inferior gluteal nerve
what does the superior gluteal nerve innervate
gluteus medius and gluteus minimus
