Hip Joint Plan Flashcards
(15 cards)
What is the classification of the hip joint?
Synovial ball and socket joint
What cartilage is present in the hip joint and what is its function?
- Hyaline Cartilage
- Reduces friction/shock absorption
What bursa are present in the hip and where are they?
- Trochanteric bursae - sub gluteus medius bursa and subgluteus maximus bursa
- Iliopsoas bursa
- Ischial bursa
Describe the joint capsule at the hip…
- Attached to articular margins
- Tight posteriorly and strengthened by ligaments
What is the function of the synovial membrane at the hip?
- Lines capsule
- secretes synovial fluid (nourishes cartilage, removes waste, reduces friction)

- Gracilis
Which muscles are used to abduct the hip?
- Glut. medius
