OBTURATOR FORAMEN
POSTERIOR BONY FEATURES OF THE HIP
ILIAC CREST

MEDIAL EPICONDYLE
POSTERIOR BONY FEATURES OF THE FEMUR
(head)
NECK
GREATER TROCHANTER
INTERTROCHANERIC LINE
LESSER TROCHANTER
what does the femoral head articulate with?
ACETABULUM to form the hip joint
What do the hemi-pelvises articulate with?
At the midline they articulate together at the pubic symphysis
What is the acetabular labrum?
Lines the acetabular rim, fibrocartilaginous. Ensures the cushioning of the hip joint.
Function of the Ileofemoral ligament
PREVENTS HYPEREXTENSION OF HIP JOINT
Function of Pubofemoral ligament
PREVENTS HYPER ABDUCTION OF THE HIP JOINT
Function of the ISCHIOFEMORAL LIGAMENT
Prevents hyperextension
Iliacus
Lumbar spinal (L1-L3) arises from inner pelvis and attaches to thelesser trochanter of femur
Psoas Mj
(L1-L3: anterior rami of spinal nerves)
arises from posterior abdo wall and attaches to the greater/lesser trochanter of femur
Pectineus
(femoral n. L2,L3)
arises from pubis bone and attaches onto femur
= Thigh flexion, thigh adduction, thigh external rotation,
What is the main extensor of the hip joint?
Gluteus Maximus
