Hip And Knee
Transcript of Hip And Knee
Hip And Knee● 2 Joints of leg
● Bones that make up the joints
● Ligaments that support the joints
● Joint Capsule
● Muscles that move the joints
JointsHip Knee
● Ball and socket
● Connects pelvis and femur
● Thick muscles for stability
● Stability important for daily movement
● Hinge
● Connects femur to tibia
● Joint not snug
● Stabilized by ligaments and muscles

Hip Joint● Pelvis and Femur● Ball and Socket joint
● Acetabulum – small bowl
● Femoral head
● Ligamentum Teres
● Labrum
Hip Joint
Capsule and ligament● Capsule attaches around rim of acetabulum and base
of femoral neck
● Ligaments
● Iliofemoral Ligament – strongest
● Pubofemoral Ligament
● Ischiofemoral ligament
Ligaments in motion● Flexion: Iliofemoral and pubofemoral relax
● Extension: Iliofemoral and pubofemoral taut
● Abduction: Upper Iliofemoral relaxed and pubofemoral taut
● Adduction: Upper Iliofemoral taut and pubofemoral relaxed
● Lateral Rotation: All taut
● Medial rotation: All relaxed
Femoral head variations● Maximal contact - flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation
● Variations:
● Angle of inclination – Angle between neck and shaft● Small angle (Coxa Vara)– ROM in abduction reduced
● Large angle (Coxa Valga)– ROM in abduction increased
● Neck concave and long – ROM in abduction and lateral rotation good
● Neck less concave and short – ROM restricted in abduction and lateral rotation
Movement of the hip● Pelvis Fixed
● Flexion
● Extension
● Abduction
● Adduction
● Medial rotation
● Lateral rotation
Movement of the Pelvis● Femur Fixed
● Anteversion – ASIS tips forward, Increases lordosis of spine
● Retroversion – ASIS tips up, Decreases lordosis
● Lateral flexion - inferolaterally
● Medial flexion - superomedially
● Lateral rotation - ASIS moves laterally
● Medial rotation - ASIS moves medially
Knee Joint● 3 Bones
● Femur
● Tibia
● Patella
● Primarily a hinge joint
Patella
● Knee cap
● Sesamoid bone
● Base – broad superior edge
● Apex – pointed inferior edge
● Articular Facets – 2 posterior to fit against femur
Intercondylar eminence
Interosseous border
Intercondylar eminence
Movements of knee● Flexion – decreases angle formed by posterior thigh
and leg
● ROM in passive flexion greater – flexors relaxed
● ROM greater when hip is flexed – position of rectus femoris
● Extension – increases angle formed between posterior thigh and leg
● ROM less when hip flexed- tension in hamstrings
● Hyperextension – Uncommon
Movements of the Knee● Medial rotation – tibial tuberosity moves medially
● Lateral rotation – tibial tuberosity moves laterally
● Rotation can only occur when knee is flexed –ligaments relaxed
Alignment of knee● Genu Valgum (knock kneed) – resulting from Coxa
Vara
● Genu Varum (bow legged) – resulting from Coxa Valga
Condyles of Femur and Tibia● Femur
● Less curve anteriorly (weight bearing)
● More curve posteriorly (flexion)
● Tibia
● Concave to fit with Femur
Movement of Condyles ● Flexion
● Femoral Condyle first rolls then glides on Tibia
● Extension
● First glides then rolls
Menisci● C shaped disks
● Fibrocartilage
● Central tips connected to intercondylar eminence
● Margins attached to edges of tibial condyles
● Attached to nearby ligaments and tendons
● Mobile and aid in spreading synovial fluid during movement
● Weight bearing – greater surface area for articulation
● Stability
Menisci ● Extension
● Move anteriorly● Pushed by femoral condyle and pulled by meniscopatellar
ligaments
● Flexion
● Move posteriorly● Pushed by condyles and pulled by tendons of
semimembranosus and popliteus muscle and tibial collateral ligament
● Rotation
● Ipsilateral moves forward
Capsule and ligaments● Attaches outside articular surfaces of 3 bones
● Anteriorly- Slack, good for flexion
● Patella contained in anterior capsule
● Deep folds at front and sides in extension
● Posteriorly – thicker
● Ligaments essential for stability
Cruciate Ligaments● Anterior cruciate ligament
● Resists anterior displacement of tibia
● Posterior cruciate ligament
● Resists posterior displacement of tibia
● Flexion and Extension – Taut
● Lateral Rotation – Slacken
● Medial Rotation – Press against each other and become more taut
Ligaments of Knee
Collateral ligaments● Medial collateral ligament

Ligaments together● Stabilize the knee
