center edge angle

- AKA the angle of wiberg - the extent to which the acetabulum covers the femoral head in the frontal plane -provides a protective shelf over the femoral head 35-40 degrees

secondary IR muscles

- anterior fibers of glut min and med - TFL -add longus - add brevis - pectineus - medial hamstrings

pubofemoral ligament

- attaches along anterior and inferior rim of acetabulum, superior pubic ramus and obturator membrane - blends with the fibers of the medial iliofemoral

iliofemoral ligament (Y ligament)

- attachment ASIS and adjacent margin of acetabulum to intertrochanteric line of the femur - one of the thickest and strongest ligaments of the body - standing with hip fully extended, anterior surface of femoral head rests against the ligament - passive tension in ligament is important stabilizing force

acetabular labrum

- blends with transverse acetabular ligament - deepens the concavity of the socket - adds stability

pelvic on femoral rotation in the sagittal plane: hip flexion

- can occur through a limited arc via and anterior tilt of the pelvis over a stationary femoral head

excessive anteversion may be associated with

- congenital dislocation - marked joint incongruence - increased wear articular cartilage - abnormal gait pattern (in-toeing)

internal rotation of support hip

- iliac crest on side of non support hip rotates forward in horizontal plane - pelvis rotating beneath a relatively fixed trunk

pelvic on femoral rotation in the horizontal plane

- internal rotation of support hip -external rotation of support hip

rotation of femur in horizontal plane

- larger subject inter-variability

acetabular fossa

- most centered part - should not contact the femur -depression deep in acetabular floor - devoid of cartilage - contains fat, synovial membrane, blood vessels

trendelenburg sign

- patient asked to stand in single limb support over weak hip -positive if pelvis drops to the side of the unsupported hip -positive indicates weak hip abductors -position of pelvic on femoral adduction - compensate by leaning the trunk to the side of the weakness

ischiofemoral ligament

- posterior and inferior acetabulum - superficial fibers spiral superiorly and laterally across posterior neck of femur to greater trochanter

abduction of support hip

- raising or hiking the iliac crest on the side of the non-supporting hip -L spine must bend in the direction opposite the rotating pelvis - lateral convexity toward side of abducted hip
