Anterior Hip Anatomy - FINAL (1).

Document Content and Description Below

General Hip Anatomy  Joint consists of articulation between the head of the femur and the acetabulum  Acetabulum o formed from three bones  ilium  ischium  pubis  Ball-and-soc ... ket type of joint which can move in all planes o Flexion/Extension o Abduction/Adduction o Medial/lateral rotation (internal/external)  High level of stability created by: o bony architecture o acetabular labrum and hip capsule which deepen the socket  Labrum is a soft cartilage that surround the acetabulum. It protects the joint surface and deepens the joint to provide more stability o Musculature and ligaments  High level of similarity to shoulder joint o Ball and socket joint o Can move in all planes o Hip joint is significantly more stable than the shoulder joint due to deeper socket and supporting ligaments, and musculature https://www.britannica.com/science/hip This study source was downloaded by 100000827141222 from CourseHero.com on 09-09-2021 19:02:13 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/54061336/Anterior-Hip-Anatomy-FINAL-1docx/ This study resource was shared via CourseHero.com Hip Ligaments  Ligamentum teres o Intracapsular ligament that surrounds the foveal artery  Iliofemoral ligament o Strongest of the ligaments o Prevents hyperextension of the hip o Y shape in appearance and originates at the anterior inferior iliac spine and inserts at intertrochanter line of the femur  Pubofemoral ligament o Triangular in shape between superior pubic rami and intertrochanter line of the femur o Prevents excessive abduction and extension  Ischiofemoral ligament o Between ischium and the greater trochanter of the femur o Prevents hyperextension and holds the femoral head in the acetabulum [Show More]
