Hip and pelvis Flashcards
(137 cards)
ball and socket joint of the hip allows for what movement
3 DF
Flex and extension
abd and add
ER and IR
fovea
attachment for the ligamentum teres
two planes for the femoral neck
angle of inclination
torsional angle
what plane angle of inclination
frontal
normal angle of inclination
120 - 125
coxa valga
greater the 125
not stable - too mobile
coxa vara
less than 120
not mobile enough
torsional angle plane
transverse plane
normal torsional angle
8-14 degrees ant from neutral reference
anterversion
increased torsional angle
femoral head settles into joint
feet turned inwards
retroversion
decrease in torsional angle
joint is not stable enough
feet turn outwards
angle of inclination and torsional at birth
All these angles start higher at birth and get lower w/ age
arcuate bundles
Primarily handles tensile stress, follows the path of Femoral neck
Supporting Bundle
Primarily handles compressive loads
head of the femur
Trochanteric Bundle
A secondary accommodator of compressive loads
between the trochanters
Accessory Bundle
where we have lots of attachments
on the greater trochanter
Zone of Weakness
Common site of femoral neck fractures, there is not a lot of pressure
in the middle of the neck
what way does the ace face
ALI
anterior
lateral
inferior
Acetabular Notch
the inferior interruption of the acetabulum
is the femoral head completely covered by the ace
no
- the femoral head and the acetabulum are both oriented anteriorly
center edge angle
the amount of overhang of the ace over the femoral head
normal: 30 - 40
Acetabular Fossa
The central, deepest portion of the acetabulum
Not covered by articular cartilage
Contains fibroelastic fat pad
Transverse Ligament
Spans the acetabular notch, completes the circle with the labrum
articular cart innervation and blood vessels
avascular and minimally innervated
no healing or pain
