Week 2- iRA/tRA: Sacroiliac Joint Flashcards
- The sacrum is triangular in shape and is composed of __ fused vertebrae.
- The anterior surface is ______ and _______.
- The posterior surface is _______ and _______.
- 5
- concave and smooth
- convex and rough
The sacrum width is greater posteriorly at ___ and greater anteriorly at ___.
-S1, S3
The sacrum has sinuous surfaces with depressions/elevations that aid in bony congruency, what 2 things does this help with?
- ) Depression ~S2 to accept Bonnaire’s tubercle from ilium.
- ) Prevent downward gliding of sacrum.
How thick is the hyaline cartilage of the sacrum?
-1-3mm
What are the (3) parts of the hip?
- llium
- Pubis
- Ischium
What are the functions of the sacrum?
- Supports lumbar spine.
- Transmits loads from LEs to vertebral column. (sideways into pelvis as well)
Lumbosacral Angles:
- Horizontal and line passing through upper border of S1 = _____ degrees
- L1-S1 Lordosis angle = ____ degrees
- Lumbosacral disc angle = ____ degrees
- ~50 degrees
- ~70 degrees (planes of superior S1 and L1 surfaces)
- ~16 degrees (bottom surface of L5 and top surface of S1)
- If the lumbosacral angles are decreased, what happens?
- If the lumbosacral angles are increased what happens?
- More direct transfer
- Shear of L5/S1
Ligaments of the SI joint assist in locking _____ at SIJ.
-ilia
What are the (7) ligaments of the SIJ?
- Interosseous SI ligament
- Anterior SI ligament
- Posterior SI ligament
- Long Posterior SI ligament
- Short Posterior SI ligament
- Sacrospinous ligament
- Sacrotuberous ligament
The Interosseous SI ligament is located dorsal to cavity of joint and has inferior and superior bands. What is its function?
-Secure bony interlocking, strong bind of sacrum and ilium
The Anterior SI ligament covers the ventral joint. What is its function?
-Prevents anterior separation of joint.
The Long Posterior SI ligament is more longitudinal in orientation and has what function?
-Prevent counter-nutation of sacrum with respect to ilium.
What is the function of the Short Posterior SI ligament?
-Prevent posterior flaring/separation of joint.
What is the function of the Sacrospinous ligament?
-Prevent nutation.
