Mod 3: Lecture 2 - Gluteal Region and Hip Joint Flashcards
Pelvic Bone/ Innominant Bone
- Fusion of three bones
- — ilium
- — ischium
- — pubis
- — fusion occurs between 15-17 years of age
- Acetabulum
- — where the 3 bones unite
- — the circle at the bottom of the pelvis
- — location of femoral head articulation
Ilium
- big round flat top part
- Iliac Crest: top curve of the bone
- — at the L4 vertebral level
- ASIS: anterior superior iliac spine
- — the front end of the iliac curve
- AIIS: anterior inferior iliac spine
- —- below the iliac curve, the bump after the inward curve
- PSIS: posterior superior iliac spine
Ischium
- bottom and back of the inferior circle
- Ischial Tuberosity: a bump at the posterior inferior part
- — supports you when you sit
- Ischial Spine: a pointy projection at the back of the pelvis
- Ramus of Ischium: extends from the ischial tuberosity to inferior pubic ramus
- — contributes to the ischiopubic ramus
Pubis
- top and center of the inferior circle
- Infer Pubic Ramus: contributes to the ischiopubic ramus
- Super Pubic Ramus: the top part of the inferior circle
- Pubic Tubercle: a little jutting out right before the pubic symphysis
Pelvis/ Pelvic Girdle
- formed by two pelvic bones and the sacrum
- — each pelvic bone consists of three fused bones
- — the sacrum is five fused bones
- False Pelvis/ Pelvis Major: contains abdominal viscera
- — the space between the ilium
- True Pelvis/ Pelvis Minor: contains pelvic viscera
- — the stuff in the giant circle below the ilium
- Pelvic Brim: separates true from false pelvis
Joints within the Pelvis
- Pubic Symphysis: syndesmosis
- — a cartilaginous disc between the right and left pubis
- —- anterior
- Sacroiliac (SI) Joint: synovial joint
- — between the sacrum and the ilium
- — posterior
Obturator Foramen
- formed by the ischium and pubis
- — inferior circle
- — directly below the acetabulum
- nearly closed by the obturator membrane
Greater Sciatic Notch
- superior to ischial spine
- — curved indent in the ilium, right above the ischium
- — seen in a lateral view
- converted to a foramen by the sacrospinous ligament
Lesser Sciatic Notch
- inferior to the ischial spine
- — curved indent in the ischium
- — seen in a lateral view
- converted to a foramen by the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments
Ligament Attachments
- Sacrospinous
- Sacrotuberous
- sacrum and coccyx to ischial spine
2. PSIS and sacrum to ischial spine
Greater Sciatic Foramen
- further divided by piriformis muscle
- Above piriformis: superior gluteal nerves
- Below piriformis:
- — inferior gluteal nerves
- — sciatic and pudendal nerves
- — cutaneous nerves
- — nerves to lateral rotators
Lesser Sciatic Foramen
- tendon of obturator internus
- pudendal nerves to perineum
Obturator Canal
- obturator nerve and vessels
Proximal Femur
- Femoral Head: fits deep within the acetabulum
- Femoral Neck: frequent site of fractures
- Greater and Lesser Trochanter: both are the site of multiple muscle attachments
- Intertrochanteric Line: located anteriorly between the greater and lesser trochanters, the site of ligaments support the hip joint (iliofemoral)
Proximal/Body of the Femur
- Linea Aspera: vertical ridge of bone which serves as an area for multiple muscle attachments
- Gluteal Tuberosity: ridge of bone between greater trochanter and linea aspera
- — bumps out more than the linea aspera
- Pectineal Line (posterior): ridge of bone between the lesser trochanter and linea aspera
- — kind of diagonal
Distal Femur
- Linea Aspera: vertical ridge of bone which serves as an area for multiple muscle attachments
- Medial and Lateral Supracondylar Ridge: posterior, extend down from the aspera to the medial and lateral condyles
- Adductor Tubercle: site of muscle attachment
- — found above the medial condyle
Hip Joint
- formed by the acetabulum of the pelvic bone and head of the femur
- ball and socket joint
Acetabulum (bony)
- formed by ilium, pubis, and ischium right above the obturator foramen
- bony cup does not extend inferiorly
- — this area is closed by the transverse acetabular ligament (which is important for stability)
- — this is where the acetabulum runs into the obturator foramen
Acetabular Labrum
- fibrocartilagenous structure
- attaches to bony rim of acetabulum
- — continuous with the transverse acetabular ligament
- deepens the acetabulum and contributes to joint stability
- Lunate Surface: acetabular hyaline cartilage on the ridge of the labrum
- — horseshoe shaped, does not cover the ligament
- — fat is located centrally
Movements of the Femur
- Flexion/Extension
- Abduction/Adduction
- Medial/Lateral Rotation
Pelvic Motion
- Anterior and Posterior Tilt
- — sagittal plane around coronal axis
- — anterior: hip flexion, pubic symphysis forward, ilium back
- — posterior: hip extension, pubic symphysis back, ilium forward
- Lateral Tilt
- — frontal plane around sagittal axis
- — produces hip abduction: ilium tilts down
- — produces hip adduction: ilium tilts up
Ligaments of the Hip
- Anterior and Posterior Sacroiliac Ligament
- Iliofemoral
- Pubofemoral
- Ischiofemoral
Anterior and Posterior Sacroiliac Ligament
- support sacroiliac joint
- — in between the ilium and sacrum
- synovial plane
- one in the front (anterior) and one in the back (posterior) per side
- — so there is a left set and a right set
- Iliofemoral Ligament
- Pubofemoral Ligament
- Ischiofemoral Ligament
1, 2, 3. - connect the femur to the pelvis
- wrap around the femur head and the hip by the acetabulum
- reinforce and stabilize the hip joint
- fibers are oriented in a spiral and are taut in extension
1. anterior - seen from the front

Tibial Nerve
- innervates all but one muscle of the posterior compartment of the thigh
- — not the short head of the biceps femoris
- innervates all muscles of the posterior compartment of the lower leg
- — deep and superficial
- the sural nerve arises from the tibial nerve
Sural Nerve
- arises from the tibial nerve
- — though sometimes with a contribution from the common peroneal (common fibular) nerve
- supplies the skin on the posterior and lateral aspects of the leg
Common Fibular (Common Peroneal) Nerve
- innervates only the short head of the biceps femoris muscle in the thigh
- divides into the superficial and deep fibular nerves around the head of the fibula
- — superficial: muscles in the lateral leg compartment
- —- deep: muscles in the anterior leg compartment
Clinical Correlation: Total Hip Replacement (THR)
- Indications: done for arthritis or a fractured femur
- Surgical Approach: the head of the femur is replaced with a prosthetic and a disk is put around the acetabulum
- Post-Op Precautions
- — don’t move the hip into extreme positions, such as extreme hip flexion or abduction
- — OTs work with the patients to prevent dislocation of the new hip prosthesis
- — OTs give adaptive equipment to prevent hip movements
Adaptive Equipment for a Total Hip Replacement
- Reacher
- Long Handled Shoehorn
- Dressing Stick
- Sock-Aid
- Long Handled Sponge
- Elastic Shoelaces
- help with dressing and washing of the lower extremity without excessive movement
