What is made up of nearly equal portions of the ilium, ischium & pubis? Acetabulum
Obturator foramen A large opening made up of the bodies & rami of the ischium & pubis and through which pass blood vessels & nerves.
Greater sciatic notch Large notch just below the PIIS that is actually made into a foramen by the sacrospinous ligament. The sciatic nerve, piriformis muscle, and other structures pass through this opening.
What is the opening called where the sciatic nerve, piriformis muscle, and other structures pass through? Greater sciatic notch.
Femur Longest, strongest, and heaviest bone of the body.
What bone articulates woth the hip bones to form the hip joint? Femur
Head of the femur The rounded portion covered with articular cartilage articulating with the acetabulum.
Neck of the femur The narrower portion located between the head and the trochanters.
Greater trochanter of the femur Large projection located laterally between the neck and the body of the femur, providing attachment for the gluteus medius & minimus, and most deep rotator muscles.
What provides attachment for the gluteus medius & minimus, and most deep rotator muscles? Greater trochanter of the femur
Lesser trochanter of the femur A smaller projection located medially and posteriorly just distal to the greater trochanter, providing attachment for the iliopsoas muscle.
What provides attachment for the iliopsoas muscle? Lesser trochanter of the femur
Femur body The long cylindrical portion between the bone ends; also called the shaft. It is bowed slightly anteriorly.
Medial condyle of the femur Distal medial end.
Lateral condyle of the femur Distal lateral end.
Lateral epicondyle of the femur Projection proximal to the lateral condyle.

Congential hip dislocation or dysplasia Shallow acetabulum causing head to slide upward. Joint capsule is stretched but intact.
What is Dysplasia? Deformity reducing contact of head in acetabulum.
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (coxa plana) Femoral head undergoes necrosis. Usually seen in children 5-10yrs. Can take 2-4 years for the head to die, revascularize & remodel. Children are casted w/long leg casts in extreme abduction.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis Seen in children in the growth spurt years. Proximal epiphysis slips off femoral head.
Angle of inclination Angle between the shaft & neck of the femur. (frontal plane) Normal is 125 degrees.
Coxa valga Neck-shaft angle greater than 125 degrees.
Coxa vara Deformity where the neck-shaft angle is less than 125 degrees.

Varus Distal end moves medial.
Angle of torsion The angle between the neck and shaft of the femur in the transverse plane. (looking down)
Normal angle for femur and neck Head & neck rotated anteriorly/laterally 15-20 degrees compared to line of condyles.
Anteversion Increase in angle. MR of hip = "toe in"
Retroversion Decreased in angle. LR of hip = "toe out"
Osteoarthritis Degeneration of the articular cartilage of the joint.
What can cause osteoarthritis? Trama, wear & tear, and typically seen later in life.
Osteoarthritis can lead to possible joint replacement. True
THA Total Hip Arthroplasty

Name the 2 types of Hip Fractures (Fx) Intertrochanteric & femoral neck (surgical)
Common causes for hip fractures? Falls of the elderly and motor vehicle accidents of young.
Iliotibial band syndrome Overuse, lateral knee pain. Seen in runners and bicyclists. Friction of IT band over lateral condyle of the femur.
Trochanteric bursitis Acute trama or overuse. Seen in runners, bicyclists, perons with leg length discrepancies or repeated stress of tissue over bursa.
Hamstring strain (pulled hamstring) Most common muscle problem in the body for sports injury where speed is required. Occur @ attachments & along length. Overload on muscle or moving muscle to fast (elongating too fast). Often recurrent.
Hip Pointer Occurs @ pelvis. Severe bruise caused by direct contact to the iliac crest. Common in football, spearing w/helmet.
Anterior muscles of the hip One Joint - Iliopsoas Two Joint - Rectus femoris & sartorius
Medial muscles of the hip One Joint - Pectineus, Adductor magnus, Adductor longus, Adductor brevis Two Joint - Gracilis
