The Hip Flashcards
What classification is the hip joint?
Synovial, spheroidal
What surrounds the hip joint?
Where do they attach?
Minor ligaments?
Which are intra/extra capsular?
Fibrous joint capsule - ischiofemoral ligament - iliofemoral ligament - pubofemoral ligament
Acetabular rim - intertrochanteric line
Ligamentum teres attaches / blends to transverse ligament
Major = extra - minor = intra
Ilium - Crest? Name & number of spines? Fossa? Notch?
Iliac crest
Anterior superior iliac spine, posterior superior iliac spine, anterior inferior iliac spine, posterior inferior iliac spine
Iliac fossa
Greater sciatic notch
Ischium - Spine? Tuberosity? Notch? Ramus?
Ischial spine
Ischial tuberosity
Lesser sciatic notch
Ischial ramus
Pubis -
Tubercle?
Rami?
Surface?
Pubic tubercle
Superior & inferior pubic ramus
Articular surface for pubic symphysis (acetabulum)
What is the labrum?
Attaches to acetabular rim - extra lip to increase socket depth / stabilise hip
Made of fibrocartilage
Limiting factors to:
Medial rotation?
Lateral rotation?
Elastic end feel
Tight posterior capsule & partly ischiofemoral ligament
Elastic end feel
Tight anterior capsule & pubofemoral ligament
May be resistance from superior fibres of iliofemoral ligament
Limiting factors to:
Flexion?
Extension?
Soft end feel
Anterior thigh against abdomen (soft tissue opposition)
Passive insufficiency on hamstring and sciatic nerve
Elastic end feel
Tight capsule, iliofemoral, pubofemoral & ischiofemoral
Passive insufficiency of rectus femoris
Limiting factors to:
Abduction?
Adduction?
Elastic end feel
Tight inferior capsule&pubofemoral ligament
Neck of femur against acetabular rim
Elastic end feel
Tight superior capsule, ischiofemoral ligament & ligamentum teres
Contralateral limb must be moved
