2. It is the joint of lower limb
Type:
Synovial
Polyaxial
Ball and socket
3. Stability depends upon:
Depth of acetabulum
Narrowing of the mouth of acetabulum
Tension & strength of the ligaments
Strength of the surrounding muscles
Length and obliquity of neck of femur
Atmospheric pressure
*A wide range of mobility is possible because of long neck
of femur.It is narrower than the diameter of head of femur
8. Parts:
Capsule is made of:
Outer longitudinal fibres (the part reflected along
neck of femur to form retinacula) – blood vessels of
head & neck of femur pass along retinacula.
Inner circular fibres (zona orbicularis)
Features:
Thicker –anteriorly-subjected to maximum tension
in standing posture
Thinner – postero inferiorly

Ligamentum teres/
Round ligament of
head of femur
Rounded- above
Wider -below
Above- pit of fovea
Below –transverse
acetabular ligament

22. Superior :
Reflected head of
rectus femoris
Gluteus medius &
minimus
Part of gluteus
maximus
Inferior:
pectineus
Obturator externus
Gracilis
Adductor longus,brevis
magnus
hamstrings
23. Branches of :
obturator artery
Medial & lateral circumflex femoral arteries
Supr.& infr.gluteal arteries
Retinacular arteries supply head & neck of
femur
24.
25. Femoral nerve through nerve to rectus
femoris
Anterior division of obturator nerve
Nerve to quadratus femoris
Superior gluteal nerve
26. Flexion
Extension
Abduction
Adduction
Circumduction
Flexion is limited by contact of thigh with
antr.abdominal wall
Adduction is limited by contact with opposite limb
28. Flexion:
Psoas major
Iliacus,assisted by-
Pectineus,rectus
femoris,sartorius adductor
longus
Extension:
Gluteus maximus &
hamstrings assisted by
tensor fascia lata
Adduction:
Adductor longus,brevis,magnus
Assisted by pectineus ,gracilis
Abduction:
Gluteus medius & minimus
Assisted by tensor fascia lata &
sartorius
Medial rotation:
gluteus medius,gluteus minimus
Lateral rotation:
Obturator
internus,externus,piriformis,
2 gamelli,quadratus femoris
29. Hip joint is commonly affected by disease
or by injuries
30. Congenital or acquired
Congenital – due to non development of
upper part of acetabulum
Dislocation is more common posteriorly and
less common anteriorly.
In posterior dislocation ,sciatic nerve may be
injured
31.
32. Flattening of head of femur
X - rays reveal joint space is increased
33.
34. Neck-shaft angle is reduced from normal
angle
Normal angle is 125 degrees
35. Disease of old age
Due to growth of osteophytes at the
articular surfaces
Movements are limited and painful
36.

40. Nelaton’s line:
Line joining anterior superior iliac spine to
ischial tuberosity
It passes through highest part of greater
trochanter
41. Mainly tuberculosis
In any disease , referred pain is felt in the
knee due to common nerve supply
42. Below 5 years - congenital dislocation and
tuberculosis
5 -10 years -Perthe’s disease
10 –20 years – Coxa vera
above 40 years -Osteoarthritis
