The Hip Flashcards
What is the function of the hip?
- to weight bear
- it combines good stability and mobility
What are the bones of the hip?
- femur
- sacrum
- innominate bones: illiul, ischium, pubis
What are the bones on the femur?
- Head
- Neck
- Adductor tubercle
- greater and lesser trochanters
- Fovea capitis
What are the bones of the pelvis?
- illiac crest
- ASIS
- AIIS
- PSIS
- Ischial tuberosity
- Pubic symphysis
- Acetabulum
- Obturator foramen
- Sciatic notch
- Ischiopubic ramus
Describe the acetabulum? and what are its movements?
It is a ball and socket joint (diarthrodial; triaxial); it is a capsular joint (circumducts)
found between the sphericle head of the femur and the acetablum
Movements (3 DFs)
* flexion/extension
* abduction/adduction
* internal/external rotation
What are the normal hip range of motions?
- Flexion: 90 or 120
- Extension: 5 or 35
- Internal rotation: 30-40
- External rotation: 40-50
- Abduction: 45
- Adduction: 25
when the knee is flexed, the rec fem limits the hip from extending more
Describe the pubic symphysis and the sacral illiac joint
Pubic symphysis:
* joint between the 2 pubic bones
* cartlaginous joint
* very little movement
Sacral Illiac: SI joint
* sacrum and illiac
* ligamentous joint
What are the 6 movements of the pelvis?
- anterior rotation/tilt (ASIS goes down)
- posterior rotation/tilt (ASIS goes up)
- lateral tilt
- inflare/outflare
- upslip (whole unit goes up), SI disfunctional
- downslip (whole unit goes down) SI disfunctional
Describe how hip motions can be in opposition or unison?
Both limbs are in opposition
- hips flexed: posterior pelvic tilt
- hip extends: anterior pelvic tilt
Both limbs in unison:
- anterior tilt when both are extended
- posterior tilt when both are flexed
What is the purpose of the acetabulum labrum?
deepens the acetabulum
What are the acetabulofemoral ligaments? and what do they limit?
- Pubofemoral: limits abduction
- Illiofemoral: 2 bands together that bifuracte and together limit hypertext [medial: limits external rotation & lateral: limits adduction]
- Ischiofemoral: limits internal rotation
What does the ligamentum teres do and limit?
- limits adduction, flexion, and external rotation
- vascular supply extends into the femur through the fovea capitis
What are the ligaments of the SI Joint?
- Sacrotuberous
- Sacropinious
- Sacroiliac (anterior and posterior)
What is the OIA of the inguinal ligament (poupart’s ligament)?
- O: ASIS
- I: Pubic tubercle
- A: serves as an attachment site for muscles (External/internal obliques and transverse abdominus) (also is a boarder for the inguinal triangle)
What is the femoral/inguinal triangle made up of and its purpose?
- Sartorius
- Adductor longus
- Inguinal ligament
this is where the femoral artery and vein runs through
