  • Back

Transverse acetabular ligament

Covers cotyloid notch in inferior central acetabulum


Used in THA to assess anteversion and coronal tilt

Capsule ligaments

Iliofemoral (Y ligament of Bigelow)- provides strong atnerior support, resists extension


Pubofemoral- prevents hyperextension of hip, inferior joint support


Ischiofemoral- minimal posterior support

Muscle associated w/ ASIS avulsion, AIIS avulsion and patellofemoral disorders

ASIS- sartorius


AIIS- rectus femoris


PF- vastus medialis

Anterior compartment of thigh

Quadriceps: vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, vastus medius, rectus femoris

Posterior compartment of thigh

Biceps femoris (both heads), semitendinosus, semimembranosus, sciatic nerve

Medial compartment of thigh

Adductor magnus, adductor longus, aductor brevis, gracilis, femoral artery and vein

What can be injured by placing retractors behind the transverse acetabular ligament?

Obturator nerve

What nerve runs along sartorius muscle belly?

Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve

What artery is at risk for anterolateral approach to the hip?

Descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery

What is the course of the medial circumflex femoral artery?

Between pectineus and psoas, then posterior to femoral neck under quadratus femoris

THA fixation techniques and angles

Press fit: implant 1-2 mm larger than bone. Hoop stresses provide initial fixation while bone ingrows


Line to line: implant and bone same size. Screws used to provide initial fixation


35-45 degrees lateral inclination and 15 degrees anteversion

Internervous plane and dangers to anterior approach to the hip


(Smith-Peterson)

IN:


-Superficial- sartorius and tensor fasciae latae


-Deep- Rectus femoris and gluteus medius


Dangers:


-Lateral femoral cutaneous n


-Femoral nerve (too much medial retraction)


-Ascending branch of the lateral femoral cutaneous artery (must be ligated)

Internervous plane and dangers to the medial approach to the hip


(Ludloff)

IN:


-Superficial- Adductor longus and gracilis


-Deep- Adductor brevis and adductor magnus


Danger:


-Obturator nerve


-Medial femoral circumflex artery


-External pudendal artery

Internervous plane and dangers to anterolateral appraoch to the hip


(Watson-Jones)

IN:


-Tensor fasciae latae and gluteus medius


Dangers:


-Descending branch of LFCA (under rectus)


-Femoral nerve (vigorous medial retraction)

Internervous plane and dangers to lateral approach to the hip


(Hardinge)

IN:


-Split gluteus medius 1/3 anterior and vastus lateralis


Dangers:


-Superior gluteal artery and nerve


-Femoral nerve, artery and vein

Internervous plane and dangers to posterior approach to the hip


(Moore/Southern)

IN:


-Split glueus maximus


Dangers:


-Sciatic nerve (reflect short ER protects)


-Inferior gluteal artery (proximal extension)


-Medial femoral circumflex artery (under quadratus femoris)
