Hip Flashcards
what type of joint
synovial
ball and socket
Acetabulum faces
ant, inf, and lat
Labrum function
deepens the acetabulum
increases stability
Angle of inclination
through neck of femur, down shaft of femur
Angle of inclination - small
coxa vara
greater shear force on the neck of the femur
abduction ROM decreases
Angle of inclination - large
coxa valga
Angle of anteversion
HOW TO MEASURE
40 in infants
12-14 in adults
Angle of anteversion - small
Retroversion
toe out
Angle of anteversion - large
Anteversion
toe in
Articular capsule - strong in what way
dense and strong ant
thin and loose post
Iliofemoral ligament
limts add
excessive ext
ER
Pubofemoral
limits abd

Ischiofemoral
limits excessive ext
IR
add
Transverse acetabular lig
inc stability in inf direction
prevents dislocation with abd
LIgamentum capitis
protects blood supply
Osteokinematics - open chain
femur on pelvis
convex on concave
OPP
Osteokinematics - closed chain
pelvis on femur
concave on convex
SAME
Most congruent/stable position is what
ext, abd, IR
Intracapsular pressure
less than atmospheric - stabilizes
Area with no trabeculae
Wards triangle
Joint reaction force with gait
high just after heel strike and during toe off
With knee extended, hip flexion is
limited by passive insufficiency of the hamstrings
active insufficiency of the rectus femoris
moment arm of gravity
With knee flexed, hip extension is
limited by active insufficiency of the hamstrings, passive insufficiency of the rectus femoris
Trendelenburg SIGN
Lean towards side of pain and instability
dec JRF
unload the painful side
Pelvis will drop to other side because of weakness
