Q

how long does it take for full ossification of the acetabulum and why is it important?

A

15-25 years
important bc if lateral fall in younger growing years theres a weakened acetabulum bc not fully developed

Q

what happens to the center edge angle with age?

Q

what are the 3 ways the acetabular changes with aging and the benefit or problem with each?

A

ossification of the articulation of the three bones of the pelvis- increased “central stability”
decreased acetabular “roundness”- reduced co-aption (lose ROM)
increased center edge angle- increased superior stability

Q

what is important of the acetabulum and femur spatial orientation?

A

both the acetabulum and femur head are anterior so doesn’t line up which creates increased mobility. The other 2/3 components line up which increase stability

Q

what could coxa vara or decreased leg length lead to over time?

A

force capability will be compensated so decreased torque of glute med and TFL
can lead to DJD (hip OA)

23
Q

what are some negatives of coxa cara?

A

increased bending moment arm increases bending moment; increases shear force across femoral neck
decreased functional length of hip abductor muscles

24
Q

what are some positives of coxa valga?

A

decreased bending moment arm decreases bending moment; decreases shear force across femoral neck
increased function length of hip abductor muscle

25
Q

what are some negatives of coxa valga?

A

decreased moment arm for hip abductor force
alignment may favor joint dislocation

26
Q

what is the angle of version?

A

transverse plane orientation of proximal neck of femur
runs through greater trochanter and neck of femur and use frontal plane reference line through lateral and medial femoral condyle

27
Q

what creates angle of version?

A

en utero, lot of torsion twisting of femur creates normal angle of version

28
Q

what is the normal angle of torsion/version?

A

8-15º is normal

29
Q

what is excessive anteversion or medial femoral torsion?

A

> 15º
if uncompensated anteversion will expose significant amount of femoral head anteriorly= susceptible to dislocation

30
Q

what is the compensated position for excessive anteversion?

A

lower extremity internal rotation “toed in”

31
Q

what is retroversion or lateral femoral torsion?

A

< 8º
if uncompensated may expose head of femur posteriorly

32
Q

what is the compensated position for vetroversion?

A

lower extremity may externally rotate and appear “toed out”

33
Q

what position of the hip gives the greatest congruency and what is this position used for?

A

flexion, abduction and lateral rotation
used for posterior hip dislocation immobilization

34
Q

why is it that flexion, abduction and lateral rotation is not the closed pack position of the hip joint if there is the greatest congruency?

A

because the capsular ligamentous structures are at their loosest

35
Q

what is the open pack of the hip joint?

A

flexion, lateral rotation and abduction because the ligaments are “uncoiled” and loose

36
Q

what is the closed pack position of the hip joint?

A

extension, internal rotation becuase the ligaments are taut

37
Q

describe the stability of frontal plane spatial orientation of the hip

A

inferior angulation of acetabulum < the superior angulation of the femoral neck
therefore, a significant portion of the head remains uncovered which may lead to decreased superior stability because smaller center edge angle

38
Q

describe the stability of transverse plane spatial orientation of the hip

A

the femoral neck and acetabulum are both directed anteriorly
thus, a significant portion of the anterior head is exposed which may contribute to reduced anterior stability= susceptible to anterior dislocation

39
Q

where is the psoas major attached to?

A

anterior lumbar vertebra

40
Q

if the psoas major is tight what would we see?

A

increase lumbar lordosis (pulls the vertebrae forward)

41
Q

where is the iliacus attached to?

A

iliac fossa

42
Q

if the iliacus is tight what would we see?

A

increase anterior pelvic tilt

43
Q

what does iliopsoas do?

A

like the bicep of the hip, its a prime flexor, and external rotator

44
Q

what does tensor fascia lata do?

A

flexes and internally rotates hip
abducts the hip if already flexed

45
Q

what is the most important contribution of TFL?

A

to maintain tension in the ITB

46
Q

the ITB is considered to assist in relieving the femur of some of the tensile loads on the shaft, how does the TFL contribute?

A

it has a roll in “taking up the slack” int he ITB to enhance this function

47
Q

what are the 3 parts of the gluteus medius?

A

like the deltoid of the hip
anterior, middle, and posterior

48
Q

what are the actions of the gluteus medius?

A

all fibers abduct
anterior fibers flex and IR
posterior fibers extend and ER

49
Q

why is the attachment of the adductors to the pubic ramus clinically significant?

A

in the presence of adaptive shortening of adduction= downslip of hemipelvis

50
Q

what is the only adductor to cross the knee?

A

gracilis

51
Q

which muscles primarily medial rotate (internally) the hip?

A

none

52
Q

which muscles can contribute to medial hip rotation?

A

muscles with lines of pull anterior to the hip joint axis at some point of the ROM may contribute
TFL and anterior glute prob the most significant
also glute min, piriformis if hip >90 flexed

53
Q

what are the primary 6 lateral hip rotators?

A

obturator internus
obturator externus
gemellus superior
gemellus inferior
quadratus femoris
pirifromis

54
Q

what are the secondary lateral hip rotators?

A

posterior gluteus medius
superior gluteus maximus

55
Q

if the hip is <90º flexed what does the piriformis do?

A

ER

56
Q

if the hip is >90º flexed what does the piriformis do?

A

IR
