Term
Pelvic bones that make up the pelvis girdle
Definition
sacrum and coccyx
Term
Pubic Sympyhsis
Definition
fibrocarilaginous disk connects the two pelvic bones anteriorly, limited mobility unless shearing due to trauma or pregnancy
Term
Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ)
Definition
articulation between sacrum and the ilium, limited mobility unless dysfunction due to muscle weakness, trauma, or pregnancy
Term
Sacrospinous Ligament
Definition
connects the sacrum to the ischial spine
Term
Sacrotuberous Ligament
Definition
connects the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity
Term
Hip Joint
Definition
articulation between the acetabulum of the pelvis and the femoral head; triaxial, ball-and-socket joint filled with synovial fluid
Term
Iliofemoral Ligament
Definition
also known as the Y ligament because of the inverted Y-shape; connects the AIIS to the intertrochanteric line of the femur; limits hip hyperextension
Term
Pubofemoral Ligament
Definition
connects the pubis ramus to the femur; limits hip abduction and extension
Term
Ischiofemoral Ligament
Definition
connects ischium to the femoral neck; limits hip hyperextension and internal rotation
Term
Ligamentum Teres
Definition
between the acetabulum and femoral head; conduit for blood supply to the femoral head
Term
Acetabular Labrum
Definition
deepens the hip socket; similar to the glenoid labrum for the shoulder
