Thigh and Gluteal Region Flashcards
Hip bone made of and where is each located
Ilium - superior
Ischium - posterior
Pubis - anterior
Standing arch
Pelvis transmits load from vertebral column to femurs
Joint of standing arch
Acetabulofemoral
Pubic symphysis and function
Links together superior rami of pubic bones
Prevents arches from spreading
Seated arch
Ischial tuberosities bear body weight in seated position
Sacro-iliac joint
synovial
Sacro-iliac ligaments
Pull sacrum into the pelvis
Sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments
prevent the pelvis and sacrum from rotating around the sacro-iliac joint when the weight of the body is bourne by the acetabulum
What parts of pelvis are in same plane and why?
ASIS and pubic symphysis
Forward tilt
Acetabulum
Ball and socket joint of the hip
Acetabular labrum
Firbocartilage around the rim of acetabulum
Ligamentum teres femoris
Triangluar flattened band that attaches to fovea capitis femoris
Attaches to acetabular notch of the pelvis
Ligaments of the hip joint
Thickenings of capsule
Ligamentum teres femoris
Zona orbicularis
Zona orbicularis
Ring of fibers of the capsule that encircle the neck of the femur and help hold femur in place
Gluteal region actions innervation and blood supply
Extenstion, abduction, medial and lateral rotation
Superior and inferior gluteal nerves
Superior and inferior gluteal arteries
Gluteus maximus actions innervation and blood supply
Extends and laterally roates
Inferior gluteal nerve
Sueprior and inferior gluteal arteries
Gluteus medius actions innervation and blood supply
Abducts and medially rotates thigh
Superior gluteal nerve
Superior gluteal artery
Gluteus minimus actions innervation and blood supply
Abducts and medially roates thigh
Superior gluteal nerve
Superior gluteal artery
Hip drop result of
Inability to abduct
Gluteus minimus/medius injury
Another name for hip drop
Tendelenburg Gait
If right gluteus minimus/medius hurt, which hip drops?
Left
Deep gluteal region actions innervation and blood supply
Lateral rotation
Branches of sacral plexus
Superior and inferior gluteal arteries
Triceps coxae
Superior gemellus
Obturator internus
Inferior gemellus
Deep gluteal region important for
Keeping foot swung laterally prior to next heel strike
Lateral rotators
Externally rotate the swinging limb and prevent swinging foot from striking on lateral edge
Internal rotators
Of grounded limb swing contralateral side of pelvis forward
Peritotrochanteric pain associated with
Avulsion of gluteus minimus/medius
Gluteus medius and minimus attach to
Greater trochanter
Compartments of thigh and functions
Anterior - flex thigh and extend leg
Medial - adduct thigh
Posterior - extend thigh and flex leg
Deep fascia of the thigh
fascia lata
What does fascia lata eventually form?
Iliotibial tract
Innervation of anterior thigh
Femoral nerve
Innervation of medial thigh
obturator nerve
Innervation of posterior thigh
Sciatic with some exceptions
Compartment syndrome and what it leads to
Buildup of fluid in tough fascial encasement increases pressure and compresses veins
Ischemia and necrosis
Two muscles that attach to IT tract
Tensor fascia lata
Gluteus maximus
