  • Front
  • Back

Is topographically and functionally the equivalent of the upper limb clavicle and scapula. It forms the lower limb girdle that attaches the limb to the vertical column

Hip Bone

The ilium, ischium, and pubis form the os coxae (hip bone) and meet one another at the acetabulum via the Y-shaped

Triradiate cartilage

Upper flattened part of the bone, possesses the iliac crest. Can be felt through the skin along its entire length

Ilium

L-shaped bone, possessing an upper thicker part, the body and a lower thinner part, the ramus

Ischium

Divided into a body, superior ramus, and inferior ramus

Pubis

The outer surface of the hip bone has a depression and it articulates with the almost spherical head of the femur to form the hip joint

Acetabulum

Articulation of the Hip Bone: Posterior

Sacroiliac joint

Articulation of Hip Bone: Anterior

Symphysis Pubis

Anatomical name of Hip Joint

Acetabulofemoral joint

Highest part of ilium

Iliac crest

The inferior margin of the acetabulum is deficient

Acetabular notch

Limited to horse shoe shaped and is covered with hyaline cartilage

Articular surface

Floor of acetabulum is non articular

Acetabular fossa

Arriculates above the acetabulum to form hip joint and below the tibia and patella to form the knee joint

Femur

Articulates with acetabulum of the os coxae to form the hip joint

Femoral Head/ Head of Femur

Connects the head to the shaft, passes downward, backward, and laterally makes an angle about 125 degrees

Femoral Neck/ Neck of Femur

Large eminences situated at the junction of the neck and the shaft

Greater and lesser trochanter

Depression at the center of the head. Attchment to the ligament of the head

Fovea capitis

Connects the trochanter anteriorly, where the iliofemoral ligament attaches

Intertrochanteric line

Connects the trochanter posteriorly

Intertrochanteric crest

Smooth and rounded on its anterior space but posteriorly has a ridge

Shaft

The cavity of the acetabulum is deepened by the presence of a fibrocartilaginous rim

Acetabular labrum

Type of joint of Hip joint

Synovial ball-and-socket joint

Strong inverted, Y-shaped ligament that prevents overextension during standing. Along intertrochanteric line (lies anteriorly)

Iliofemoral ligament

Other name of iliofemoral ligament

Y ligament of Bigelow

Triangular shaped ligament that limits extension and abduction. From superior ramus of pubis to the lower part of intertrochanteric line

Pubofemoral ligament

Spiral shaped ligament that us attached to the body of ischium and its fibers pass upward laterally to the greater trochanter. This limits extension

Ischiofemoral ligament

Formed by the acetabular labrum as it bridges the acetabular notch. It converts the notch into a tunnel through which the blood vessels and nerves enter the joint

Transverse acetabular ligament

This is thick, especially in women. Composed of fat that contribute to the prominence of buttock

Superficial fascia

It is continuous below with deep fascia or fascia lata, of the thigh. In the gluteal region, it splits to enclose the gleteus maximus muscle

Deep fascia

On the lateral surface of the thigh, the fascia lata is thickened to form a strong wide band

Iliotibial band

Bounded superiorlyby the iliac crest and inferiorly by the fold of the buttock

Gluteal region

Provides an exit from the pelvis into the gluteal region

Greater sciatic foramen

Provides an entrance into the perineum from the gluteal region. Its presence enables nerves and blood vessels that have left the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen

Lesser sciatic foramen

These ligaments function is to stabilize the sacrum and prevent its rotation at the sacroiliac joint by the weight of the vertebral column

Sacrotuberous and Sacrospinous ligaments

Structures that exit the greater sciatic foramen

-Piriformis


-Sciatic nerve


-Posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh


-Superior and Inferior gluteal nerve


-Superior and inferior gluteal arteries and veins


-Nerves to obturator internus and quadratus femoris


-Pudendal nerve


-Internal pudendal artery and vein

Structures that pass through the lesser sciatic foramen

-Tendon of obturator internus muscle


-Nerve to obturator internus


-Pudendal nerve


-Internal pudendal artery and vein

Triangular depression situated in the upper part of the medial aspect of the thigh just below the inguinal ligament

Femoral triangle

Intermuscular cleft situated on the medial aspect of the middle third of thigh deep to the sartorius muscle

Adductor canal of Hunter

Borders of Femoral Triangle: Superior


Inguinal ligament

Borders of Femoral Triangle: Laterally

Sartorius muscle

Borders of Femoral Triangle: Medially
