HIP REGION: HIP AND THIGH - BONES AND JOINTS

100%

HIP REGION:

HIP AND THIGH - BONES AND JOINTS:

Anatomy of the hip and thigh:

Pelvic girdle - structure and function:

Pelvis (pelvic girdle):

Supports and protects abdominal and pelvic organs.

Transmits forces from the head and trunk to the lower limbs.

Provides attachment sites for muscles and ligaments.

Composed of:

Two hip (innominate) bones (ilium, ischium, pubis).

Sacrum and coccyx (form a ring-like bony structure).

Articulations of the pelvis:

Divisions of the pelvis:

Lesser pelvis (true pelvis):

Male Vs Female Pelvic Girdle:

Ligament attachments:

Structure and function:

Proximal femur (thigh bone):

Structural features:

Components of the proximal femur:

Neck of femur:

Surgical neck:

Trochanters:

Lesser trochanter:

Intertrochanteric structures:

Joints and ligaments:

Ligaments:

HIP MUSCLES:

Gluteal region - superficial muscles (overview):

Gluteal muscles - deep muscles (short lateral rotator): ○

Deep group:

Piriformis:

Obturator internus and gemelli:

" Quadratus femoris:

Gluteal region muscles - Clinical slides:

THIGH MUSCLES:

Important landmark muscle:

Anterior hip muscles (hip flexor group):

Medial thigh compartment: hip adduction, stabilization during gait/stance. Key muscles:

Medial thigh muscles (adductor group):

Adductor magnus: the largest muscle in the medial thigh compartment.

Posterior thigh muscles (extensor group):

IMPORTANT STRUCTURES IN THE HIP AND THIGH:

NAVEL (lateral to medial):

Adductor canal (Hunter's/subsartorial canal):

Knee region - Bones, Joints, and Muscles

Landmarks of the knee:

Medial femoral condyle: Forms the medial part of the knee joint, articulating with the medial tibial plateau.

Epicondyles:

Patellar surface: Composed of medial and lateral facets, forming the sloping sides of the trochlear groove.

Popliteal surface:

Proximal tibia: the largest weight-bearing medial bone of the leg.

Tibial landmarks:

Medial tibial plateau:

Lateral tibial plateau:

Tubercles of the intercondylar eminence:

Anterior border, shin crest:

A vertical ridge along the lateral aspect of the tibia.

Surfaces of the tibia:

Just inferior to the tibial tuberosity is the attachment site for the Pes Anserinus muscle:

Additional bony features:

Impression for Iliotibial tract: attachment site for the iliotibial band.

The largest sesamoid bone in the body.

Facets for articulation with the femur:

Functions of the patella:

KNEE JOINTS AND LIGAMENTS:

Types of foot arches:

Tarsal tunnel:

Overview

The document serves as an in-depth review of the anatomy related to the hip and thigh, discussing the pelvic girdle's structure and function, articulations, and associated musculature. It highlights important clinical insights relevant to the hip region.

Key Points

1The pelvic girdle supports and protects abdominal organs
2Sacroiliac joints are strong weight-bearing joints crucial for stability
3The male and female pelvic girdles exhibit structural differences
4Major muscles involved include gluteal, anterior, and medial thigh muscles
5Clinical findings such as Trendelenburg sign highlight importance of hip function
