  2. Minimally invasive hip resurfacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_hip...

    The modified posterior MIS approach to hip resurfacing and total hip arthroplasty (hip replacement) displays a host of advantages to the patient: Less post-operative pain; Less soft tissue damage and pressure on muscle fibres. Shorter hospital stay; Lower blood loss; Smaller incision; Quicker return to work and functional activities [2]

  3. Joint replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_replacement

    The anterior approach accesses the hip joint from the front, with less large muscle dissection but due to the proximity of the femoral artery, corresponding vein, and main nerve bundle for the leg lying just medial to the acetabulum the surgeon must exercise caution and maintain suitable landmarks.

  4. Hip replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_replacement

    The anterior approach uses an interval between the sartorius muscle and tensor fasciae latae. This approach, which was commonly used for pelvic fracture repair surgery, has been adapted for use in hip replacement. When used with older hip implant systems that had a small diameter head, dislocation rates were reduced compared to posterior surgery.

  5. Hip dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_dislocation

    Posterior dislocations is when the femoral head lies posteriorly after dislocation. [5] It is the most common pattern of dislocation accounting for 90% of hip dislocations, [5] and those with an associated fracture are categorized by the Thompson and Epstein classification system, the Stewart and Milford classification system, and the Pipkin system (when associated with femoral head fractures).

  6. Sims' position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sims'_position

    The Sims Position is described as in the person lying on the left side, left hip and lower extremity straight, and right hip and knee bent. It is also called lateral recumbent position. [3] Sims' position is also described as the person lying on the left side with both legs bent. [4]

  7. Iliofemoral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliofemoral_ligament

    The iliofemoral ligament is a thick and very tough triangular capsular ligament of the hip joint situated anterior to this joint. It attaches superiorly at the inferior portion of the anterior inferior iliac spine and adjacent portion of the margin of the acetabulum; it attaches inferiorly at the intertrochanteric line.

  8. Gluteal lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteal_lines

    The anterior gluteal line is the middle curved gluteal line on the hip bone. It is the longest of the three gluteal lines, begins at the iliac crest , about 4 cm. behind its anterior extremity, and, taking a curved direction downward and backward, ends at the upper part of the greater sciatic notch.

  9. Capsule of hip joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_of_hip_joint

    The capsule of hip joint, articular capsule, or capsular ligament is strong and dense attachment of the hip joint.. Anterosuperiorly, it is attached to the margin of the acetabulum 5 to 6 mm. beyond the labrum behind; but in front, it is attached to the outer margin of the labrum, and, opposite to the notch where the margin of the cavity is deficient, it is connected to the transverse ligament ...
