May30 M3-Anatomy LL 1 Flashcards
3 hip bones (forming ‘‘the hip bone’’)
- ilium (top until mid acetabulum)
- ischium (mid acetabulum to the bottom, posteriorly)
- pubis (mid acetabulum to bottom anteriorly) (anterior branch)
landmarks on the ilium
- sacroiliac joint
- ala of the ilium
- iliac crest
- AIIS and ASIS
- iliac fossa (anterior ala of the ilium, the fossa)
- articular surface in the back medially to articulate with the sacrum
landmark to know on the sacrum
coccyx (last bone in the bottom)
what’s the hip joint
joint between hip bone and femur
structure associated to the pubis
pubic symphysis
landmarks of the ischium
- ischial spine in the back
- ischial tuberosity in the bottom (the hamstrings spread from there)
- greater and lesser sciatic notches (above and below the ischial spine). the greater sciatic notch is mostly ilium superiorly
hole in the hip bone
obturator foramen (hole formed by ischium and pubis, below acetabulum)
regions of the femur
head, neck and shaft
landmarks on the femur (4)
- greater trochanter (laterally ant)
- lesser trochanter (medially post)
- intertrochanteric line (between trochanters anteriorly)
- intertrochanteric crest (between trochanters posteriorly)
- gluteal tuberosity (below intertrochanteric crest POSTERIORLY)
what muscle goes to the lesser trochanter of the femur
iliopsoas
bones forming the acetabulum (hip bone articular surface for femur)
all 3 hip bones
structures at the acetabulum to support the joint (5)
- acetabular labrum (ring around the joint)
- lunate surface (cartilage forming valley in the labrum)
- acetabular fossa (hole in middle of valley formed by lunate surface)
- ligament of the head of the femur (attaching fossa of femur head (the fovea) to acetabular fossa)
- ligaments and joint capsule (around the labrum)
name of hole in femur head
fovea
characteristics of hip joint
- ball and socket joint
- multi-axial
- synovial
movements the hip can do
- flexion (lift leg in front) and extension (lift leg in back)
- ABDuction and ADDuction
- medial and lateral rotation
when is it that the hip flexion angle is 0 and that lateral balancing of the hip is due to ADDuction and ABDuction
- standing (angle of 0)
- sitting (angle of 90 flexion but you’re working on ABDuction and ADDuciton if moving leg to the side or medially)
- ABDuction and ADDuction is balancing, not rotating the leg*
when is it that hip flexion angle is 90 and that lateral and medial balancing of the hip is due to medial and lateral rotation
standing and lifting leg (hip) 90 degrees and rotating thigh ROTATING is turning the leg on its own axis not balancing it
3 ligaments supporting the hip joint
- iliofemoral lig. (ant lat, on top)
- pubofemoral lig. (ant med)
- ischiofemoral lig. (posterior)
2 weak spots of the hip joint ligaments
- in the front, between iliofemoral and pubofemoral lig.
- in the back between iliofemoral (bc is on top) and ischiofemoral lig. (in back)
clinical significance of 2 weak spots of hip joint ligaments
possible dislocation bc there, the joint can come apart
% of post vs ant hip dislocations
90% posterior (femur to back, not in acetabulum, and leg a bit shorter)
10% to front (leg bit longer)
posterior vs anterior hip dislocation characteristics
-post = hip flexed, ADDucted, medial rot
-ant = hip slightly flexed, ABDucted, lat rot
(think post leg goes back so want to put leg as close to the body axis as possible)
ligaments at the sacroiliac joint
- anterior sacroiliac ligaments in front
- posterior sacroiliac ligaments in the back
inguinal ligament from where to where
ASIS to pubic symphysis, running on ilium and pubis
ligament attaching from L5 vertebrae’s transverse processes to the ilium and associated muscle
iliolumbar ligament
-quadratus lomburum was attaching there
2 important ligaments linking the sacrum to the ischium
- sacrospinous ligament (sacrum to ischial spine)
- sacrotuberous (sacrum to ischial tuberosity)
important function of the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments
prevent upward tilting of the lower end of the sacrum (sacral spine) by anchoring it to the ischium
what are the greater and lesser sciatic foramens
on each side of the hip bone, holes formed by
- greater sciatic notch ant, ST lig. post and SS lig. inf (for greater sciatic foramen)
- lesser sciatic notch ant, ST lig post and SS lig sup
