Hip joint is what type of joint
Ball and socket
Why is the hip joint more stable than the shoulder joint
Because ball of the femur is almost entirely surrounded by socket of the pelvis whereas shoulder joint is like a golf ball resting on a tee
What is the acetabular labrum
Ring of cartilage surrounding acetabulum
Function of acetabular labrum
Deepens the acetabular cavity so increasing the surface of the hip joint
Articular parts of hip joint
Acetabulum of pelvis with head of femur
3 main ligaments of hip joint
Ilio-femoral
Pubofemoral
Ischiofemoral
Ilio-femoral ligament prevents what
Hyper-extension of hip joint
Pubofemoral ligament prevents what
Hyper-abduction of hip joint
Movements of the hip joint (7)
Flexion/extension
Abduction/adduction
External (lateral) / internal (medial) rotation
Circumduction
Main flexors of the hip (3)
Iliopsoas - MAIN
Rectus femoris
Sartorius
Iliacus and psoas muscled share which common insertion of the femur
Lesser trochanter
