Q

What are the noticeable differences between a male pelvis and a female pelvis?

A
  • Female have a wider pelvis, more rounded
  • The male pubic ramus have a more acute angle; female pelvis is more shallow
  • The sciatic notch in a female has a larger angle

Q

What are the important landmarks of the Acetabulum?

A

Q

What is the proximal and distal attachment of the joint capsule of the Hip joint?

A

Proximal - Acetabular Labrum

Distal - Intertrochanteric Crest.

17
Q

What are the three primary ligaments of the hip joint?

A
  • Iliofemoral ligament
  • Pubofemoral ligament
  • Ischiofemoral ligament
18
Q

What are the insertions of Psoas Major?

A

Psoas Major:

  • Originates in the lumbar spine and passes under the inguinal ligament inferiorly and laterally.
  • Distally attaches to the lesser trochanter on the femur.
19
Q

Why is there a bursa in the inguinal area?

A

The iliopsoas bursa is placed between the muscles and the bone and is a synovial sack to reduce friction at the ilium.

20
Q

What are the deepest, middle and most superficial of the gluteal muscles?

A

Gluteus Minimus: (Smallest and Deepest) Creates adduction
Gluteus Maximus: (Largest and Superficial) Extension
Gluteus medius: (Overlays minimus) Abduction

21
Q

What are the proximal attachment points of the large gluteal muscles?
Gluteal lines

A

(Gluteus Maximus) - Proximal attachment is behind the posterior gluteal line and the lateral aspects of the sacrum and coccyx and ligamentous insertions to the sacrotuberous ligament
(Gluteus Medius) - Proximal attachment is in between the anterior and the posterior gluteal line.
(Gluteus Minimus) - Proximal attachment is between the anterior and inferior gluteal lines

22
Q

What are the distal attachments of the large gluteal muscles?

A

(Gluteus Maximus) - Distally attaches to gluteal tuberosity (on posterior femur) and superficial fibres which is thickened fascia called the iliotibial tract.
(Gluteus Medius)- Distal attachment is the lateral side of the greater trochanter.
(Gluteus Minimus) - Distal attachment is the greater trochanter

23
Q

What is the Tensor Fasica Latae (TFL) and name its insertions and movements?

A

TFL is a hip flexor, abductor and medial rotator.

  • Proximally attaches to the iliac crest round to the ilium below ASIS.
  • Runs down the lateral side of the femur to Distally attaches to the lateral condyle of the tibia
24
Q

Lateral rotators are located in the gluteal region, name 3 the significant deep gluteal muscles?
Name 6 if possible

A
  • Piriformis: Most superior and is associated with the sciatic nerve
  • Obturator interus: Starts in the anterior of pelvis and pass through the obturator foramen and distally attaches to the greater trochanter
  • Quadratus femoris: Starts at the ischial tuberosity, through the obturator foramen to the greater trochanter
    • Gemellus Superior: Above obturator internus
    • Gemellus Inferior: Below obturator internus
    • Obturator exturnus
25
Q

What are the insertions of Iliacus?

A

Iliacus:

  • Originates in the iliac fossa, passes under the inguinal ligament
  • Distally attaches to the lesser trochanter.
26
Q

What muscles create hip flexion at the hip?

A
  • Psoas Major
  • Iliacus
    • (Rectus Femoris)
    • (Sartorius)
