Description 概述The hip articulation is true diarthroidal ball and-socket style joint, formed from the head of the femur as it articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis. This joint serves as the main connection between the lower extremity and the trunk, and typically works in a closed kinematic chain.髋关节是真正的球窝式关节,由股骨头与骨盆髋臼构成。髋关节是下肢和躯干之间的主要连接,在一个密闭的运动链中运动。Motions Available 髋关节可做的动作
Flexion: forward and upward movement of the femur at the hip occurs in the sagittal plane about an medial-lateral axis.
Extension: upward movement toward the rear of the body of the femur at the hip occuring in the sagittal plane.
Abduction: movement of the femur on the hip in a direction away from the midline of the body in the frontal plane.
Adduction: movement of the femur on the hip in a direction toward the midline of the body in the frontal plane.
Internal Rotation: rotation of the femur toward the midline of the body in the transverse plane.
External Rotation: rotation of the femur away from the midline of the body in the transverse plane.
Ligamentum Teres: This ligament is located entirely within the hip joint. It spans the hip running from the acetabular notch to the fovis capitis of the femur, attaching the femoral head to the inferior acetabular rim. This ligament is joined with nerves and vessels that pass to the femoral head. The vascular component of this structure is important during development, but is less significant in children. This ligament becomes taut during adduction, flexion, and external rotation, but only minimally contributes to joint stability.
Ischiofemoral Ligament: Is the only ligament located on the posterior aspect of the hip. It attaches to the posterior surface of the acetabular rim and labrum. This ligament is said to 'wind' around the joint and insert on the anterior aspect of the femur. The location and orientation of this ligament reinforces the joint capsule posteriorly and checks against excessive extension and internal rotation of the hip joint.
Iliofemoral Ligament (Y Ligament of Bigelow): Attaches to the AIIS and then fans out to attach along the intertrochanteric line of the femur. The iliofemoral ligament is the strongest ligament in the body, and checks extension, adduction (superior fibers), and abduction (inferior fibers). In addition, because this ligament limits hip extension, it allows maintenance of the upright posture by reducing the need for muscle contractions.
Pubofemoral Ligament: Is located on the anterior portion of the joint, arising from the anterior aspect of the pubic ramus and passing to the anterior surface of the intertrochanteric fossa. This ligament's main purpose is to check hip abduction and extension. This ligament may blend with the inferior fibers of the iliofemoral ligament.
The hip joint is extremely strong, due to its reinforcement by strong ligaments and musculature, providing a relatively stable joint. Unlike the weak articular capsule of the shoulder, the hip joint capsule is a substantial contributor to joint stability. The capsule is thicker anterosuperiorly where the predominant stresses of weight bearing occur, and is thinner posteroinferiorly. 由于强大的韧带和肌肉的加固,髋关节是非常坚固的,构成一个相对稳定的关节。与肩关节囊薄弱不同,髋关节囊对关节稳定性有重要作用。在主要的承重应力的地方,形成前上厚,后下薄的囊体。
