The Hip Joint Flashcards
What Bones are Hip Joint made up from?
Pelvic acetabelum and head of Femur
What is the Classification of the hip joint?
Synovial, Ball and socket joint.
How is the Hip joint secure?
Many Ligaments; intracapsular (ligemtnous fossa)
extra capsular (iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ischialfemoral)
acteablum labrum (added depth to socket)
surrounding muscles.
Also where the ligaments are weakest there is greater support from the medial rotators.
What is the function of the Hip Joint?
Weightbearing (largest WB joint in body) and connection from lower limb to pelvic girdle.
Name the ligaments in the HIP
Intra- Ligament of the head of the femur
extracaspular- Iliofemoral, Ischialfemoral, Pubofemoral
What is the nerve supply of the Hip?
Sciatic (post), femoral (ant) and obturator nerves
What are the Hip Flexors?
Psoas Major, Rectus Femoris, illiacus, Sartorious.
I-O Psoas Major?
Origin: Trans Process of L1-5 and Vertebral body of T12-L5
Insertion: Lesser Trochanter
Nerve Supply: L1-L3
I-O Illiacus
O- upper two thirds of iliac fossa
I- Base of Lesser trochanter
Nerve- Femoral nerve
O-I Rec Fem?
O- anterior inferior iliac spine and just about the acetabulum
I- Quad tendon at base of Patella and tibial tuberosity via Patella ligament
O-I Sartorious
O- anterior superior iliac spine (moves spirally)
I- pes anserinus (medial to tibial tuberosity)
What are the Hip Extensors?
Glute Max, Hamstrings (semi-tendinosus, semi-membrenosus, bicep femrois(long and short head))
O-I Glute max
O- gluteal surface of ileum, sacrum and coccyx.
I- iliotibial Tract and gluteal tuberosity of femur.
Nerve- gluteal nerve
O-I bicep Fem?
(LH)
O- isichial tuberosity
I- head of fibula and lat condyle of femur.
(SH)
O- distal Linda aspera & lat supracondylar ridge of femur
I- head of the fibula and lat condyle of femur
O-I semitendinosus?
O- ischial tuberosity
I- proximal tibia/medial to tibial tuberosity (part of pes anserinus)
