The acetabular notch is a deep [citation needed] notch in the inferior portion of the rim of the acetabulum. [1]: 1354 It is bridged by the transverse acetabular ligament, converting it into a foramen (through which nerves and vessels (including the acetabular notch of obturator artery [1]: 1250 ) pass into the hip joint cavity). [1]: 1368 It ...
Acetabular fracture. Acetabular fracture. Acetabular fracture as seen on plain X-ray. Fractures of the acetabulum occur when the head of the femur is driven into the pelvis. This injury is caused by a blow to either the side or front of the knee and often occurs as a dashboard injury accompanied by a fracture of the femur. [1] The acetabulum is ...
An arthroscopic probe is seen at the junction of the labrum and acetabular rim. An acetabular labrum tear or hip labrum tear is a common injury of the acetabular labrum resulting from a number of causes including running, hip dislocation, and deterioration with ageing. Most are thought to result from a gradual tear due to repetitive microtrauma.
Anteromedially and inferiorly to the AIIS is the iliopsoas groove, the passage for the iliopsoas muscle as it passes down to the lesser trochanter of the femur. A vague line, the inferior gluteal line, might run from the AIIS to the greater sciatic notch which delineates the inferior extent of the origin of gluteus minimus muscle. [1]
The acetabular labrum reduces the size of the opening of the acetabulum and deepens the surface of the hip joint. At the lower part of the acetabulum is the acetabular notch, which is continuous with a circular depression, the acetabular fossa, at the bottom of the cavity of the acetabulum.
The transverse acetabular ligament (transverse ligament[1] or Tunstall's ligament[citation needed]) bridges the acetabular notch, creating the a foramen (through which blood vessels and nerves pass into the joint cavity). [2] The ligament is one of the sites of attachment of the ligament of head of femur. [1][3]: 789.
The acetabular labrum (glenoidal labrum of the hip joint or cotyloid ligament in older texts) is a fibrocartilaginous ring [1][2][3] which surrounds the circumference of the acetabulum of the hip, deepening the acetabulum. The labrum is attached onto the bony rim and transverse acetabular ligament. It is triangular in cross-section (with the ...
The ligament of the head of the femur (round ligament of the femur, foveal ligament, or Fillmore's ligament) is a weak [1] ligament located in the hip joint. It is triangular in shape and somewhat flattened. The ligament is implanted by its apex into the antero superior part of the fovea capitis femoris and its base is attached by two bands ...
