Hip Joint
Type: Multiaxial ball-and-socket synovial joint Articulation: The Hip Joint articulates between the hemispherical head of the femur and the cup-shaped acetabulum of the hip bone
Acetabulum
Acetabulum
Is the large cup-shaped cavity or socket on the lateral aspect of the hip bone Articulates with the head of the femur to form the hip joint The Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis join to form the acetabulum
Ilium
Iliac fossa Iliac Crest Iliac Tuberosity ASIS AIIS PSIS PIIS Gluteal Lines
Ischium
Ramus of ishium Ischial tuberosity Ischial spine Lesser Sciatic Notch
Pubis
Superior Ramus of Pubis Inferior Ramus of Pubis Pubic Crest Pubic Tubercle Pectin Symphyseal Surface
Illiofemoral ligament
-Also known as the Y ligament -Runs from the base of the AIIS to the intertrochantic line -Reinforces the fibrous capsule anteriorly -Strongest ligament in the hip -Prevents hyperextension of the hip during standing by screwing the femoral head into the acetabulum
Pubofemoral ligament
-Runs from the anterior pubis ramus to the anterior surface of the intertrochantic fossa -Reinforces the fibrous capsule inferiorly and anteriorly -Tighten during abduction and extension -Prevents overabduction of the hip joint
Ischiofemoral ligament
-The ischial portion of the acetabulum and spirals to the neck of the femur and base of the greater trochanter -Prevents hyperextension of the hip -Fibers relaxed during flexion
Ligamentum teres
Known also as the ligament of the head of the femur Attaches to the acetabular notch and the transverse acetabular ligament to the pit in the head of the femur Weak Supplies the blood for the femur head
