HIP JOINT
Dr Adam Afodun 07/11/22
Hip Joint
• Synovial ball and socket joint
• Multiaxial
• Three degrees of freedom
• Movement in three planes
• Close pack extension and medial rotation
• Least pack semiflexion
• One of most stable joints in the body
• Articular surface of hip joint are reciprocally curved
• Superior surface of femur and acetabulum sustain greatest
pressure
Acetabulum
• Y-shaped epiphyseal
cartilage
• Start to ossify at 12 years
• Fuse 16-17 years
• Acetabular notch is inferior
• Nonarticular fossa, thin
related medially to obturator
internus
• Pad of fat, proprioceptive
nerves
Articular
Surface of
Hip Joint
• Semilunar
articular
surface
covered with
hyaline
cartilage
• Deepened by
acetabular
labrum
• Wedge
shaped
fibrocartilage
• Head of femur
2/3rd
of sphere
• Pit for
ligamentum teres
• Covered with
articular cartilage
• Cartilage thicker
posterior superior
• Epiphyseal line
for head
intracapsular
Articular
Surface
• 2 CAPSULES: synovial membrane and fibrous capsule
• Posterior
• Free border, finger’s breath from trochanteric crest due to insertion of obturator externus
• Into trochanteric fossa and
• Root greater trochanter
• Strongest superiorly
• Anteromedially, deep fibres reflected head of rectus femoris
• Iliopsoas is anterior
• Lateral deep fibres of gluteus minimus
• Proximally attached
• Margins of the acetabular fossa
• Base of labrum
• Distally, anterior to the intertrochanteric line
• Inferiorly, femoral neck close to lesser trochanter
Capsule of Hip
Articulation
• The hip joint is the articulation between the
hemispherical head of femur and the cup shaped
acetabulum of the hip bone
• The articular surface of the acetabulum is horseshoe
shaped and is deficient inferiorly at the acetabular notch
• Its primary function is to support the weight of the body
in both static (e.g. standing) and dynamic (e.g. walking
or running) postures
Retinacular Fibres
• Fibres of
capsule
reflected along
neck to articular
margin called
retinacular
fibres
• Blood supply to
head run under
retinacular
fibres
Ligaments of Hip
• Acetabular labrum
• Transverse ligament
• Ligament of head/ ligamntum teres
• Iliofemoral ligament
• Pubofemoral ligaments
• Ischiofemoral ligaments
• Zona orbicularis
 Transverse ligament is part of the labrum
 Ligamentum teres is triangular, its base is attached to transverse ligament,
and the apex to the pit on the head of femur
 Blood supply to epiphysis from obturator artery
 Only supplies a flake of bone in elderly
Iliofemoral Ligament
• Thickening of capsule
• Lower half of anterior inferior iliac spine and adjoining acetabulum
• Distally
• Upper and lower parts of inter trochanteric line
• One of strongest ligaments in body
• Tightens in extension
• Helps maintain erect posture
• Facet on anterior aspect of neck
• Prevents hyperextension
• Fulcrum reducing hip
Pubofemoral Ligament
• Superior pubic ramus
• Inferior part of inter trochanteric line and upturned part
• Relatively weak
• Prevents abduction
• Bursa between it and iliofemoral
Ischiofemoral Ligament
• Ischium to posterior part of joint (weak)
• Circular fibres called zona orbicularis
• Centre of gravity in front of head
• Synovial under obturator externus
Synovial Membrane
• Lines inner portion of capsule and non articular structures
• It is attached to the margins of the articular surfaces
• It covers the portion of the neck of the femur that lies
within the joint capsule
• Ligament of head (by synovial fold)
• Fat in acetabular fossa
• A pouch of synovial membrane frequently
protrudes through a gap in the anterior wall of
the capsule
• Forms the psoas bursa beneath the psoas
tendon
• Bursa under obturator externus
Bursa Under Gluteus Maximus
• Trochanteric
bursa
• Posterolateral
aspect of
greater
trochanter
gluteofemoral
• Vastus lateralis
ischial bursa
• Ischial
tuberosity
Blood Supply
• Child, obturator artery via ligamentum teres supplies epiphysis
• Elderly, main supply via retinacular vessels from trochanteric and
cruciate anastamoses
• Medial and lateral circumflex femoral vessels
• Superior gluteal supplies the upper part of the acetabulum
• Inferior gluteal supplies the inferior and posterior and the capsule
• Transverse and ascending branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery
• Transverse and ascending branch of medial circumflex femoral
• Cruciate and trochanteric anastomosis
• Fractures of neck may cause avascular necrosis, extra capsular arteries
enter the trochanter at the base of neck
• Medial and lateral circumflex femoral vessels and superior gluteal

CLINICAL ANATOMY
Piriformis Syndrome
• Piriformis Syndrome
is caused when the
sciatic nerve is
compressed by the
piriformis muscle.
• Piriformis syndrome
will cause a dull pain
in the hip or buttock
region and
sometimes may be
experienced from the
lower back all the
way to the foot.
Piriformis Syndrome
Piriformis Syndrome is caused by two main groups:
Overload- caused by training errors, sports that require a lot of running, and sedentary
lifesyles.
• Exercising on hard surfaces
• Exercising on uneven surfaces
• Exercsing in worn-out shoes
• Sitting for long periods of time
Biomechanical Inefficiencies- faulty foot and body mechanics, gait disturbances, and
poor posture or sitting habits.
• Poor running or walking habits
• Walking with your toes pointing out
• Stiff muscles in the lower back, buttocks, and hips
