PP 3 Flashcards
Hip articulation
Coxal or iliofemoral (ball and socket)
Major bursae of the hip
- Trochanteric
- iliopsoas
- Ischial
Another name for Iliofemoral
Y ligament/Bigelow
What is the role of the iliofemoral?
- Positioned to prevent excessive extension
- Plays important role in maintaining upright posture
How does the Ischiofemoral repond to extension and what is its purpose?
Winds tightly on extension, helping to stabilize extension
Purpose of Pubofemoral
Prevents excessive abduction of femur, limits extension
Strongest ligament of the body
Iliofemoral
- Sacrospinous
- Sacrotuburous
- Ischiofemoral
- Posterior
Sacrospinous function
together with the sacrotuberous ligament, it converts the greater sciatic notch into the greater sciatic foramen and the lesser sciatic notch into the lesser sciatic foramen, its main function is to prevent posterior rotation of the ilium with respect to the sacrum
Sacrotuberous function
Fascial connections that make it consistent with biceps femoris insertion, controls forward flexion of sacrum and restricts posterior rotation of ilium
pelvis: Posterior pelvis sacroiliac short ligament
sacrum to ilium, runs obliquely
pelvis: Posterior pelvis sacroiliac long ligament
PSIS to sacrum, restricts anterior ilial rotation
pelvis: Posterior sacroiliac interosseous ligament
intrarticular, toughest ligament in the body – it has been shown that, when forcibly opening the SI joint, the bone will fail before the ligament; it is important in maintaining the joint space during weightbearing
pelvis: Iliolumbar ligament
- attaches the fifth transverse process to the iliac crest
- Up until 3rd decade it is muscular
- It stabilizes the connection between the low back and pelvis, and limits side-flexion of the trunk
- iliolumbar
- Inguinal
- sacrospinous
- Iliofemoral
- Obturator membrane
Pelvis
- Posterior articulations:
- Anterior articulation:
- Movement:
- Posterior articulations: Sacroiliac
- Anterior articulation: Symphysis
- Movement: a little anterioposterior rotation
Pubic Symphysis
- The ends are covered with what?
- What connects the ends?
- hyaline cartilage
- fibrous cartilage (disc)
Sacroiliac joint articular cartilage on the ilium is ____ while the cartilage covering the sacrum is _____.
- fibrocartilage
- hyaline (thicker)
Sacroiliac joint: Joint is part ____ and part ____.
- synovial
- fibrous (syndesmosis)
Sacroiliac joint: Movement of sacrum on the ilium is usually referred to as ___ and ___.
- nutation (flexion)
- counter-nutation (extension)
Sacroiliac joint: The total mean rotation is around ___ and the total translation is ____.
- 4 degrees
- ~ 3 mm
