Knock-knees are called this
A " hip pointer" is a contusion to this bony area

The main muscle responsible for hip extension
What is gluteus maximus?
These are known as your "sitting bones."
What are the ischial tuberosities
This tests are 90 degrees flexion checks for acl injury by looking for forward tibial movement
What is the anterior drawer test
This injury involves bone forming inside muscle after repeated trauma
What is the myositis ossificans
The pelvis is the made of the ilium, ischium, and this bone.
What is the pubis

What are the adductors( Longus, brevis, Magnus, and gracilis)

what is the PSIS
This test is preferred right after injury because it doesn't force painful flexion
What is the Lachman test
The usual muscle involved in a groin strain
This fibrocartilage deepens the hip socket and adds stability
What is the labrum
This muscle is a prime mover for hip internal rotation
What is the gluteus minimus
This nerve runs halfway between the greater trochanter and ischial tuberosity
What is the sciatic nerve
This meniscus test looks clicking or popping during rotation and flexion/ extension
What is the McMurray's test
A grade 3 muscle strain means this has happened
What is a rupture
This ligament is the main stabilizer of the hip resists excessive internal rotation and flexion
what is the iliofemoral ligament
Name two muscles that help with hip flexion
What are rectus femoris, iliopsoas or sartorius
This band runs from the iliac crest to the lateral knee
What is the iliotibial band ( IT)
This condition refers to swelling inside the joint caused by blood and synovial fluid
