HIP JOINT

Structure of the Hip

What is the hip joint?


• A ball and socket joint
• where the head of the femur articulates

with the concave acetabulum


• A more stable joint than the shoulder
because of bone structure and the
number and strength of the muscles
and ligaments crossing the joint
INTRODUCTION

• One of the largest and most stable joint:


• Rigid ball-and-socket configuration
(Intrinsic stability)
iliofemoral, pubofemoral and ischiofemoral ligaments
and the ligamentum teres

The integrity of the hip is enhanced by


the strong ligaments crossing the joint.
ACETABULUM
• Concave component of ball and
socket joint

• Covered with articular


cartilage .Provide static stability.
ACETABULUM

• Facing;
1. Anterior
2. Inferiorly
3. Laterally

• Fibrocartilage nous rim


• Acetabular labrum
• Central portion: Non-Articular
ACETABULUM

• Labrum: a flat rim of


fibro cartilage

• Transverse acetabular
ligament
THE FEMORAL HEAD

• Femoral head : convex component


• Two-third of a sphere
• Cover with cartilage
• Rydell (1965) suggested : most load----- superior quadrant

1. Anteriorly
2. Medially
3. superiorly
THE FEMORAL NECK

• Frontal plane (the neck-to-shaft angle)

• Transverse plane (the angle of anteversion)


• Neck-to-shaft angle :
125º, vary from 90º to 135º

• Effect : lever arms


NECK-TO-SHAFT ANGLE & ABDUCTOR MUSCLE
FORCE
• Angle of anteversion :12º

• Effect : during gait


• >12º :internal rotation
• <12º :external rotation
KINEMATICS
• Hip motion takes place in all three planes:
• sagittal (flexion-extension)
• frontal (abduction-adduction)
• transverse (internal-external rotation)

• Muscle, ligament and configuration…


asymmetric
KINEMATICS

• Rang of motion : sagittal, frontal, transverse

Structure of the Hip

Sacrum

Ilium
Acetabulum
Femoral
head

Pubis
Ischium

Femur

The pelvic girdle includes the two ilia and the


sacrum. It can be rotated forward, backward,
and laterally to optimize positioning of the hip.
Ligaments and Bursae
•Iliofemoral ligament: Y shaped extremely
strong= anterior stability
•Pubofemoral ligament: anterior stability
•Ischiofemoral ligament: posterior stability
•Ligamentum teres
•Ligaments help to twist the head of femur into the
socket during extension movements
•Iliopsoas bursa
•Deep trochanteric bursa
Movements at the Hip

What movements of the femur are


facilitated by pelvic tilt?
Pelvic tilt direction Femoral movement
posterior flexion
anterior extension
lateral (to opposite abduction
side)
Movements at the Hip

FLEXION

• iliacus
• Psoas Major
• Assisted by:
• Pectineus
• Rectus femoris
• Sartorius
• Tensor fascia latae
Movements at the Hip

EXTENSION

•Gluteus maximus: in the hip joint is responsible for maintaining


proper biomechanical function of the lower body during walking
and running in order to prevent injuries at the hip, knee, and ankle
•Hamstrings
• Biceps Femoris
• Semimembranosus
• Semitendinosus
Movements at the Hip

ABDUCTION

• gluteus medius
• assisted by:
• gulteus minimus
Movements at the Hip

ADDUCTION

• adductor magnus
• adductor longus
• adductor brevis
• assisted by:
• gracilis
Movements at the Hip

LATERAL ROTATION

•Piriformis
•Gemellus superior
•Gemellus inferior
•Obturator internus
•Obturator externus
•Quadratus femoris
• ITB(fibrous tissue band) and its associated muscles is to extend,
abduct, and laterally rotate the hip
Movements at the Hip
MEDIAL ROTATION
1/3 of strength as compared to lateral rotators

• gluteus minimus
•Assisted by:
• TFL
• Semimembranosus
• Semitendinosus
• Gluteus medius
LOADS ON THE HIP

•Highly specialized and well designed


•Compressive forces
•Amount of load
•Effect of speed
•Foot wear
•Training surface
COMMON INJURIES OF
THE HIP
Fractures
• Hip is subjected to high repetitive loads---4-7
times the body weight during locomotion
• Fractures of femoral neck…???
• Loss of balance and fall
• Common misconception
• Regular physical activity
Injuries contd…

CONTUSIONS
•Anterior aspect muscles--- prime
location for direct injury
•Contact sports
•Internal hemorrhaging
•Appearance of bruises= mild to severe
Injuries contd…

STRAINS
•Hamstring strain
•Groin Strain
NERVE INJURY PAIN

• L3 Spinal level: groin- thigh to knee


• Sciatic nerve: deep to piriformis
• Obturator nerve: damage during labor
• Femoral nerve: # of upper femur, congenital dislocation,
forceps labor and delivery

• LI,L2,L3,S1 & S2
• Lumber intervertebral and SIJ
