The Hip And Pelvis bones

Question 1

The 3 bones at the hip

Answer 1

Pubis
Sacrum
Ischium

Question 2

What are the Anterior palatable structures

Answer 2

Iliac crest
ASIS
pubic tubercles
Inguinal ligament

Question 3

What are the posterior palpable structures

Answer 3

PSIS 
Sacrum 
Ischial tuberosity 
Coccyx 
Sacral spinous processes

Question 4

Explain the femoral head of the proximal femur

Answer 4

Spherical covered in articular hyaline cartilage, part from the fovea where the ligaments attach

Question 5

Explain the femoral neck of the proximal femur

Answer 5

Vulnerable to fracture especially in elderly

Question 6

Explain the trochanteric region of the proximal femur

Answer 6

Greater trochanter laterally facing, posterior and inter medial is the lesser trochanter, sites for muscle insertion, between the two trochanters is the intertrochanteric line where the hip ligaments are attached

Question 7

Explain the posterior intertrochanteric crest

Answer 7

Where the 2 lines of the linea aspera develop which comes of the gluteal tuberosity where the gluteus maximus inserts, more lateral and medial of this is the pectineal line. Both lines join to form the linea aspera the raised ridged area which goes to the distal femur (muscle attachments)

Question 8

What are anteverted hips

Answer 8

‘In toeing gate’ affects all lower limbs biomechanics, patiala squints

Question 9

Where does the femoris head get its blood supply from

Answer 9

The ligament teres , the artery within the femoral head, supplies blood to the medial and lateral circumflex arteries join through capsule and supply the neck of the femur, within the shaft and trochanteric region there are nutrient arteries, fractures in this area can equal a loss of blood supply E.G vascular necrosis

Question 10

Describe the hip joint

Answer 10

Synovial, poly axial ball and socket joint, 3 degrees of movement, flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, medial and lateral rotation

Question 11

What is the acetabulum

Answer 11

The lunate surface of hyaline cartilage, cartilage deficient centrally (Horseshoe shape) articular surface doesn’t connect deficit of the interior aspect crossed with the transverse ligament, often fat pads in central area the lunate surface of the articular cartilage is joined by a transverse acetabular ligament deepened by an acetabular labrum which wraps all the way around the edge of the articular surface

Question 12

What is the acetabular labrum

Answer 12

Fibro- cartilaginous rim, triangular in cross section

Question 13

Name the Ligaments of the hip

Answer 13

Iliofemoral ligament
Pubofemoral ligament
Ischiofemoral ligament
Ligament teres

Question 14

What is the iliofemoral ligament

Answer 14

2 bands
