lecure 5a: anatomy and Biomechanics review of the hip Flashcards
what is the rest position of the Hip joint
30° flexion, 30° abduction and slight ER
what is the closed packed position for the hip joint
full extension , IR and abduction
what is the capsular pattern of the hip joint
flexion , abduction , IR (but sometimes IR is limited)
what is the articulation of the hip joint
convex head of femur articulates with convace acetabulum
what is larger , the acetabulum or head of the femur? and how does the head of the femur face
head of the femur is larger
faves medially , superiorly anf anteriorly
what is the major function of the hip joint
transmit forces b/t pelvis and LEs
is the hip joint designed for stability or mobility
stability over mobility
what is hip dysplasia
under coverage of femoral head by acetabulum
what is an excessive bony development and/or overcoverage of femoral head by acetabulum
Femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI
____ ____ is integral to successfully evaluating and treating hip dysfunctions
regional interdependence
how does the acetabulum face
anteriorly , laterally and inferiorly and is convace
what is the acetabulum covered by and what is it deepen and supported by >?
covered by articular cartilage and deepened and supported by labrum
what is filled with a fat pad very important for shock absorption and proprioception
acetabular fossa
where is the angle of inclination
in frontal plane b/t femorla neck anf shaft
what is the normal angle of inclination for ..
adults
infants
elderly
- Adults: 125-139°
- Infants: 150°
- Elderly: 120°
what is the angle of inclination for coxa valga and coxa vara
• Coxa Valga >139°
• Coxa Vara <125°
what is the angle that is in horizontal plane b/t axis through femoral neck and axis through condyles
angle of torsion (anteversion)
what is the normal range of angle of torsion (anteversion)
adults
infants
- Adults: 10-15º
- Infants: 30º
what is excessive anteversion and what does it casues and what does it predispose
> 15°
casues toe in and IR hip
predispose OA and excessive anterior glide
what is the difference between relative retroversion vs absolute retroversion and what does it cause
Relative retroversion <10º vs Absolute retroversion <0º
both causes toe out and ER hip
where in the joint capsule of the hip is it thick and thin
thicken anteriorly and superiorly and thin and loose posteriorly and inferiorly
what is the anterior capsule more predisposed to ? what about the posterior capsule?
anterior: more presidsposed to shortening and restriction
posterior: more predisposed for dislocation and laxity
what direction is the hip most likely to dislocate
posteriorly
what kind of cartilage is the acetabular labrum ? where does it attache to ? what does it increase and what does it disperse
fibrocartilage
attaches to acetabular margin
increase congruicey of articulation
disperses the load
