Mobilization for Hip
Joint
BY DR/ KHALED ALSAYANI
 The most common form of hip dysfunction is osteoarthritis, which
affects nearly 80% of individuals by the age of 75 years.
 Osteoporosis can lead to hip fractures and hospitalization for older
individuals.

Editor's Notes

  • #4 The acetabulum faces lateral, inferior and anterior. A ring of cartilage, which, on the caudal part is interrupted by the acetabular notch, covers the peripheral part. The acetabular notch opens to the capsule. It is covered by the transverse ligament and it forms a passage for the ligamentum teres and the obturator artery branch. The middle, deeper part of the acetabulum (acetabular fossa) is not in contact with the femur head.
  • #7 In the acetabular fossa lays a fat pad, called the pulvinar acetabuli. It is covered with a synovial membrane. Function: Lubrication Shock absorber Protects ligamentum teres The hip is like a hydraulic system. During the swing phase, a decrease in atmospheric pressure will suck fluid from the iliac bursa into the pulvinar acetabuli. During the stance phase, the fluid gets squeezed out. The acetabular fossa is a shallow depression in the floor of the acetabulum, above the acetabular notch. The fossa is lined with a fibroelastic fat pad, which in turn is covered with synovial membrane. The membrane is attached to the medial aspect of the transverse ligament and the margins of the acetabular fossa, enveloping the ligament of the head of the femur, where it extends up to the edge of the pit (fovea) on the femoral head. © 2003 Primal Pictures Ltd.
  • #8 The joint capsule is shaped like a cylindrical sleeve. It runs from the iliac bone to the upper end of the femur. It has 4 sets of fibers: Longitudinal fibers, which keep the joint surfaces together. Oblique fibers, with a similar function as the longitudinal fibers/ Arcuate fibers, which only attach to the acetabular rim Circular fibers, which have no bony attachment, and are thickest in the center of the sleeve. The capsule inserts medially into the acetabular ring, the transverse ligament and the base of the peripheral surface of the labrum. Laterally the capsule inserts into the base of the neck. Deep fibers of the rectus femoris strengthen the capsule anteriorly. Synovial folds (frenulae) are found superior and inferior, to accommodate for ab/adduction.
  • #9 Ligamentum teres From the acetabular notch to the head of the femur. Although very strong, it plays a trivial mechanical role. Contributes to the vascular supply of the femoral head via the artery of the ligamentum teres, a posterior branch of the obturator artery (runs underneath the transverse ligament before entering the ligament) Iliofemoral ligament From the ventral edge of the ilium (caudal of the AIIS) to the intertrochanteric line. The central part is relatively thin, while the superior and inferior part are very strong (8-10mm thick). Pubofemoral ligament The iliofemoral and pubofemoral ligament resemble a Z shape. Between the 2 ligaments, the capsule is thinner. Between the capsule and the iliopsoas tendon is a bursa. Ischiofemoral ligament Located posteriorly. From the dorsal edge of the acetabulum to the medial greater trochanter. The anterior and posterior hip ligaments wind around the collum in a clock wise direction. Extension “winds” or tightens these ligaments, while flexion “unwinds’ or relaxes them. In erect posture, the ligaments are under moderate tension. In external rotation, the anterior fibers are taut, the posterior fibers are slack. In internal rotation, the anterior fibers are slack, the posterior fibers are taut.
  • #11 Position of reference: position denoting a “balanced pelvis” for assessment of hip abduction/adduction ROM – generally in a supine position A line between the 2 ASIS is perpendicular to the line from ASIS through patella
