Hip Anatomy
This bone is the large upper leg bone that connects to the pelvis.
What is the femur
A hip pointer is best described as this type of injury to the iliac crest.
What is a contusion?
This bone is commonly known as the kneecap.
What is the patella?
This condition involves inflammation of the tibial tuberosity in growing athletes.
What is Osgood-Schlatter disease?
The primary movement of the gluteus maximus is this.
What is hip extension?
These are the three bones that make up the pelvis.
What are the ilium, ischium, and pubis?
This condition occurs when the head of the femur slips off the neck in children and preteens.
What is slipped capital femoral epiphysis?
This ligament prevents anterior translation of the tibia.
What is the ACL?
This injury often occurs in stop-and-go sports and involves excessive anterior tibial movement.
What is an ACL tear?
These two muscles are primarily responsible for hip abduction.
What are the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus?
This structure is located at the base of the spine and connects to the pelvis.
What is the sacrum?
Calcium deposits forming in muscle after improper injury treatment describes this condition.
What is myositis ossificans?
This ligament prevents valgus force at the knee.
What is the MCL?
Repetitive flexion and rotation commonly lead to this injury.
What is a meniscus tear?
This muscle performs both hip flexion and knee extension.
What is the rectus femoris?
This nerve runs through the posterior thigh.
What is the sciatic nerve?
This condition is caused by disrupted blood flow to the head of the femur.
What is Legg-Calve-Perthes disease?
This structure in the knee functions as a shock absorber.
What is the meniscus?
Excessive varus force can result in this ligament injury.
What is an LCL tear/sprain?
These muscles are responsible for knee flexion.
What are the hamstrings?
This nerve is found in the anterior thigh.
What is the femoral nerve?
This hip injury is considered a medical emergency due to high-impact trauma.
What is a dislocated hip?
This ligament prevents posterior translation of the tibia.
What is the PCL?
Falling on a bent knee is a common mechanism for this injury.
What is a PCL tear/sprain?
The tensor fascia latae assists with these two movements.
What are abduction and flexion?
