Muscles and Joints of the Hip and Pelvis Flashcards
Where the Head of the Femur articulates with the Acetabulum
Ball and Socket joint (Synovial and Multiaxial)
Actions: Flexion/Extension, Abduction/Adduction, Internal/External Rotation
Coxafemoral (Hip) Joint
Horseshoe-shaped articular surface in the Acetabulum
Articular Surface of the Acetabulum
“Earth”
Meaning round
Teres
Ligament that connects the Head of the Femur to the Acetabulum (and the AKAs)
Attaches at the Fovea
Ligament of the head of the Femur (Ligamentum Teres, Round Ligament, Foval Ligament)
Fibrocartilagenous lip that attaches to the boney rim of the Acetabulum
Makes the socket of the Acetabulum deeper
Acetabular Labrum
Notch between the two ends of the horseshoe (articular surface) of the Acetabulum
Passage for blood vessels into the Acetabulum (Joint Capsule of the Coxafemoral Joint)
Acetabular Notch
Shallow depression in the centre of the Acetabulum Filled (occupied) by a fat pad covered with synovium (synovial membrane)
Acetabular Fossa
Connects (closes) the Acetabular Notch
Transverse Ligament of the Acetabulum
Checks (restricts) extension, abduction and lateral rotation
Medially attaches at the AIIS and Acetabular rim
Laterally attaches at the Intertrochanteric line of the Femur
Iliofemoral (Y) Ligament
Checks (restricts) abduction
Medially attaches at the Superior Pubic Ramus
Laterally attaches at the Iliofemoral Ligament
Pubofemoral Ligament
Sac (envelope) of Synovial Fluid that lies over the Ischial Tuberosity, under the tendon.
Ischiogluteal Bursa
One of the two Bursae on the Greater Trochanter, further from the surface of the skin
Between the Gluteus Medius and the Greater Trochanter
Deep Trochanteric Bursa
One of the two Bursae on the Greater Trochanter, closer to the surface of the skin
Between the Gluteus Maximus muscle and the Greater Trochanter
Superficial Trochanteric Bursa
Checks (restricts) hyperextension
Medially attaches at the Ischial part of the Acetabular Rim
Laterally attaches at the Femoral Neck and medial Greater Trochanter
Ischiofemoral Ligament
Inflammation of the Ischiogluteal Bursa
Weaver’s Bottom
Joint between the two Pubic Tubercles
Cartilaginous Joint
Limited movement
Pubic Symphysis
Sac (envelope) of Synovial fluid that sits between the Iliopsoas muscle and the Iliopubic Eminence
Iliopectineal Bursa
Ligament that runs across the superior end of the Pubic Symphasis
Attaches at the Pubic Tubercles
Superior Pubic Ligament
