unit 5 sprtsmed Flashcards
what type of join is the hip joint
synovial ball and socket joint
define acetabulum
the hip socket. covered by thick ligamentous structures that provide stability
define labrum
the ligament like thing that keeps the ball in the socket
longest bone in the body
femur
two muscle groups of the femur
hamstrings and quadriceps
hip flexor group
rectus femoris, rectus sartorius, and rectus iliopsoas
what extends the thigh
hamstrings and gluteus maximus
define avulsion
tendon pulling away from the bone
define epiphysis
the growth plate
define hip pointers
contusion(extreme bruise) of the iliac crest(those huge hip disks in the pelvis)
what is the main cause of hip, pelvis, and femur fractures
an avulsion disrupting the epiphysis
define contusion
extreme bruise
define laceration
an extremely deep cut in the skin
define labrum tears
not common. a tear in the labrum usually happens slowly and can flip into the joint which results in a groin pain along with restricted range of motion at the hip. usually surgically repaired
define avulsion fractures
a result of forceful muscle contractions that pull the bone away at the site where the tendon attaches
define stress fractures
uncommon. usually happens to runners. caused by repetitive stress. pounding can cause femur to bend slightly
define osteitis pubis
repeated stress to the pubic symphysis can cause it to become inflamed and painful. must use PRICES
in what directions do most hip dislocations occur in
posteriorly accompanied by fractures
define legg clave perthes disease
children and teens. disruption of blood flow to the head of the femur causing the tissue there to die
define myositisis ossificans
formation of bone tissue within the muscle
define hip bursitis
bursa is a fluid filled sac that reduces friction of the tendons. when it is irritated bc of too much pressure, it can become inflamed. snapping of the hip when going up the stairs
