Sacro-iliac Joint & its Accessory Ligaments Flashcards
composition of the auricular surface of the ileum
articular cartilage
interspersed with fibrocartilage
superficial appearance of the auricular surfaces of the sacro-iliac joint by age 15
sacrum develops a sacral groove while the ilium develops an iliac ridge
which gender is biased with greater unevenness of the auricular surface of the sacro-iliac joint
males (gosh, that really sucks)
forms the accessory sacro-iliac joint
sacral tuberosity and the iliac sulcus
pathological or age-related modifications of the sacro-iliac joint may occur
degenerative arthrosis and ankylosis
what does degenerative arthrosis mean
condition of degeneration of the joint, sometimes referred to as degenerative joint disease (DJD)
what does ankylosis mean
condition of fibrous adhesion occurs within the joint
age and surface bias associated with degenerative arthrosis of the sacro-iliac joint
age 40
iliac auricular surface
age and gender bias associated with ankylosis of the sacro-iliac joint
age 50
male bias particularly in African American males
movements at the sacro-iliac joint are described as forward nodding and backward nodding
nutation and counternutation, respectively
attachment sites of the interosseous sacroiliac ligament
sacral tuberosity and the iliac sulcus
relationship between the capsular and interosseous sacroiliac ligaments
interosseous sacro-iliac ligament replaces the capsular ligament posteriorly
passes between the layers of the interosseous sacroiliac ligament
dorsal rami from the sacral spinal nerves
forms the falciform ligament
continuation of the sacrotuberous lig. along the ischial ramus
separates the greater sciatic and lesser sciatic foramina
sacrospinous lig.
