What type of joint is the hip joint?
ball and socket synovial joint; diarthrodial (freely moveabe) joint
What provides stability to the hip joint?
stability is primarily provided by its osseous (bony) components and articulations; deep acetabulum contributes to inherent joint stability
What are the primary functions of the hip joint?
provides dynamic support for the weight of the body and trunk
transmits forces and loads from the axial skeleton to the lower extremities
allows mobility while maintaining stability
What is 1 pointing to?
articular cartilage
What is 2 pointing to?
acetabular labrum
What is 3 pointing to?
ligament of the head of the femur
What is 4 pointing to?
synovial cavity
What is 5 pointing to?
articular capsule
What is 1 pointing to?
anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS)
What is 2 pointing to?
greater trochanter
What is 3 pointing to?
pubofemoral ligament
What is 4 pointing to?
iliofemoral ligament
What is 1 pointing to?
iliofemoral ligament
What is 2 pointing to?
greater trochanter of the femur
What is 3 pointing to?
ischiofemoral ligament
What is 1 pointing to?
medial circumflex femoral artery
What is 2 pointing to?
ascending branch of lateral circumflex artery (LCFA)
What is 3 pointing to?
transverse branch of lateral circumflex artery (MCFA)
What is 4 pointing to?
descending branch of lateral circumflex artery (DCFA)
What is 5 pointing to?
lateral circumflex femoral artery
What is 6 pointing to?
profunda femoris artery (deep artery of thigh)
What is 7 pointing to?
acetabular branch (artery to head of femur, in ligament)
What is 8 pointing to?
obturator artery
What is 9 pointing to?
retinacular artery
What is 10 pointing to?
medial circumflex femoral artery
What artery runs within the ligament of the head of the femur (ligamentum teres)?
acetabular branch of the obturator artery (aka: artery to head of femur)
What nerves innervate the hip joint?
femoral nerve
obturator nerve
superior gluteal nerve
nerve to quadratus femoris
What structures make up the hip joint capsule?
acetabular labrum (lip) & a strong, dense fibrous capsule
Where is the hip joint capsule weakest?
posteroinferior (capsule is thinner & looser)
What type of deeper fibers are found in the hip joint capsule?
deep circular fibers that form a collar around the neck of the femur
How are the longitudinal fibers of the hip joint capsule arranged?
present throughout the capsule; thickest on the anterior aspect of the capsule
Are the greater and lesser trochanters intracapsular or extracapsular?
extracapsular (outside the hip joint capsule)
Describe the fiber arrangement of the hip joint capsule.
deep circular fibers form a collar around the femoral neck; longitudinal fibers reinforce the capsule and are thickest anteriorly
Where is the ligamentum teres?
ligament of the head of the femur; extends from the acetabulum to the fovea capitis of femoral headl contains acetabular branch of the obturator artery
What is
