the hip complex Flashcards
what type of joint is the hip
synovial/ diarthrodial ball and socket
how many DOF does the hip have
3
flex/ext
add/abd
IR/ER
the acetablum is contributes by the fusion of what 3 pelvic bones
ilium, ishium and pubis
the acetablum articulates with the ____ ____ and is covered with what type of cartilage
femoral head
hyaline
what creates a tunnel allowing fibroelastic fat tunnel carrying blood vessels deep into acetabulum
Acetabular notch + transverse acetabular ligament
what part of the acetablum is the deepest portion ?
does it articulate with the femoral head ?
acetabluar fossa
no
what is the normal acetabulum positioning
~50° inferior and ~20° anterior (little anteversion)
what are 4 abnormalities of the acetabulum
acetabular dysplasia
coxa profunda
anteversion
retroversion
what abnormality of the acetabulum is shallow acetabulum, decreased coverage, instability
acetabular dysplasia
what abnormality if the acetabulum is over coverage leading to impingement
coxa profunda
what is the different between anteversion and retroversion
anteversion is more anterior leading to instability and retroversion is more posteriorly leading to over coverage
if the acetablum is angles >20 what is considered
anteversion
if the acetablum is angles <20 what is considered
retroversion
what is the typical center edge angle
22-50°
if the center edge angle is <22-50° what does that indicate
acetabular dysplasia
if the center edge angle is > 22-50° what does that indicate
pincer type of impingement
what is the angle that connects the lateral rim and center of femoral head and is the coverage of the femoral head
center edge angle
what is the typical acetabular inclination
32-45°
what does the acetabular inclination measure
acetabular depth
the acetabular inclination is measured from what to what on an xray
line parallel to the teardrops to lateral acetablum
if the acetabular inclination is > 32-45° what can that indicate
acetabular dysplasia
what is the function of the acetabular labrum
depends the socket and increases concavity and maintains negative pressure to add stability
the nerve ending of the acetabular labrum provided what
proprioceptive and pain sensitivity feedback
what ligament does the acetabular labrum blend what

slipped capita femoral epiphysis
coxa vara is structurally associated with what
genu valgum (knee in)
why will Kids with CP tend to have Coxa Valga and will often present with genu valgum when walking/standing
spasticity
what plane is the angle of torsion taken in
transverse plane
the angle of torsion is the axis thru what

how many capsular ligaments does the joint capsule of the hip have
3
the joint capsule of the hip is thickest where and thinnest where
thickest : anterior -superorily
thinnest: posterior - inferiorly
what fibers of the joint capsule carry blood vessels that provide nutrition to the femoral head/neck
retinacular fibers
