Iliofemoral ligament
Y ligament, superior, limits extension
pubofemoral ligament
pubis-femur, limits: extension, ER and abduction, posterior capsule
Ischialfemoral ligament
limits flexion, IR (some)
Hip Joint amount of movement
allows 3 degrees of movement
Depth?
is deeper than the shoulder, almost entire femoral head fits.
What still grows past puberty in the hip?
the Acteabular fisures
What is the ligament Teres?
A round ligament enters the fovea capitis in the femoral head, which allows blood vessels (obturator artery) to supply the femur.
Osteonecrosis
when the ligament teres is damaged from a dislocation / subluxation of the femur.
What parts of the labrum in the hip has nerve endings and arterial supply?
The superior and inferior parts (nerve) and 1/3 have adequate blood supply.
Hydrostatic Pressure of the hip?
The labrum closes the joint, creating a vacuum to seal the head of the femur in the joint. This keeps fluid in the joint. It helps keep the hip from braking down and distribute the forces adequately.
Center Edge Angle
Angle between
- vertical line from the center of the femoral head
-line connecting the center of the femoral head and the lateral rim of the acetabulum
<16 Center Edge Angle
definite dysplasia (really small)
16 to 25 Center Edge Angle
possible dysplasia
> 25 Center Edge Angle
Normal
> 40 Center Edge Angle
possible excessive acetabular coverage (coxa profunda or protrusion acetabular)
Acetabular Dysplasia
Is
Angle of Inclination
is the angle formed between the femoral neck and the shaft of the femur
Normal Angle of Inclination
approximately 125 degrees
110 to 140 in children is normal
Load through life creates it.
Coxa Valga
more than 140 degrees, increases the load on the bone, can cause arthritic changes, and changes in length-tension relationships of muscles and moment arm decreases. abduction
Coxa Vara
less than 110 degrees, increases moment arm, abductors, stresses on head/neck of femur, and epiphyseal plate shearing forces. (bending forces)
can cause fracture and slipped femur head.
Angle of torsion
twist of the whole femur. the degree of twist or rotation along the longitudinal axis of a bone, essentially measuring how much a bone is “twisted” relative to its normal alignment, most commonly used when discussing the femur (thigh bone) in the hip joint, where an abnormal angle of torsion can affect movement and potentially lead to joint issues like osteoarthritis; a higher angle is called “anteversion” while a lower angle is called “retroversion” when discussing the femur.
version
is the position o the femur within the acetabulum
Normal angle of torsion
10-20 degrees. For joint congruency.
Anteversion
> 35 degrees increased IR and Decreased ER so the hip sits in more internal rotation to keep joint congruency
