  • Femur Pelvis HIP JOINT Femoral Head in Acetabulum Acetabular
    Anatomy of the Hip Joint Overview The hip joint is one of the largest weight-bearing HIP JOINT joints in the body. This ball-and-socket joint allows the leg to move and rotate while keeping the body Femoral head in stable and balanced. Let's take a closer look at the acetabulum main parts of the hip joint's anatomy. Pelvis Bones Two bones meet at the hip joint, the femur and the pelvis. The femur, commonly called the "thighbone," is the longest and heaviest bone of the body. At the top of the femur, positioned on the femoral neck, is the femoral head. This is the "ball" of the hip joint. The other part of the joint – the Femur "socket" – is found in the pelvis. The pelvis is a bone made of three sections: the ilium, the ischium and the pubis. The socket is located where these three sections fuse. The proper name of the socket is the "acetabulum." The head of the femur fits tightly into this cup-shaped cavity. Articular Cartilage The femoral head and the acetabulum are covered Acetabular with a layer of articular cartilage. This tough, smooth tissue protects the bones. It allows them to labrum glide smoothly against each other as the ball moves in the socket. Soft Tissues Several soft tissue structures work together to hold the femoral head securely in place. The acetabulum is surrounded by a ring of cartilage called the "acetabular labrum." This deepens the socket and helps keep the ball from slipping out of alignment. It also acts as a shock absorber.

  • Normative Values for Femoral Length, Tibial Length, Andthe Femorotibial
    Article Normative Values for Femoral Length, Tibial Length, and the Femorotibial Ratio in Adults Using Standing Full-Length Radiography Stuart A Aitken MaineGeneral Medical Center, 35 Medical Center Parkway, Augusta, ME 04330, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Knowledge of the normal length and skeletal proportions of the lower limb is required as part of the evaluation of limb length discrepancy. When measuring limb length, modern standing full-length digital radiographs confer a level of clinical accuracy interchangeable with that of CT imaging. This study reports a set of normative values for lower limb length using the standing full-length radiographs of 753 patients (61% male). Lower limb length, femoral length, tibial length, and the femorotibial ratio were measured in 1077 limbs. The reliability of the measurement method was tested using the intra-class correlation (ICC) of agreement between three observers. The mean length of 1077 lower limbs was 89.0 cm (range 70.2 to 103.9 cm). Mean femoral length was 50.0 cm (39.3 to 58.4 cm) and tibial length was 39.0 cm (30.8 to 46.5 cm). The median side-to-side difference was 0.4 cm (0.2 to 0.7, max 1.8 cm) between 324 paired limbs. The mean ratio of femoral length to tibial length for the study population was 1.28:1 (range 1.16 to 1.39). A moderately strong inverse linear relationship (r = −0.35, p < 0.001, Pearson’s) was identified between tibial length and the Citation: Aitken, S.A. Normative corresponding femorotibial ratio.

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research (2018) 13:21 DOI 10.1186/s13018-017-0710-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Anatomical axes of the proximal and distal halves of the femur in a normally aligned healthy population: implications for surgery Hamidreza Yazdi1, Ara Nazarian2, John Y. Kwon3, Mary G. Hochman4, Reza Pakdaman5, Poopak Hafezi6, Morteza Ghahremani7, Samad Joudi8 and Mohammad Ghorbanhoseini3* Abstract Background: The anatomical axis of the femur is crucial for determining the correct alignment in corrective osteotomies of the knee, total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and retrograde and antegrade femoral intramedullary nailing (IMN). The aim of this study was to propose the concept of different anatomical axes for the proximal and distal parts of the femur; compare these axes in normally aligned subjects and also to propose the clinical application of these axes. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the horizontal distances between the anatomical axis of the proximal and distal halves of the femur and the center of the intercondylar notch were measured in 100 normally aligned femurs using standard full length alignment view X-rays. Results: The average age was 34.44 ± 11.14 years. The average distance from the proximal anatomical axis to the center of the intercondylar notch was 6.68 ± 5.23 mm. The proximal anatomical axis of femur passed lateral to the center of the intercondylar notch in 12 cases (12%), medial in 84 cases (84%) and exactly central in 4 cases (4%). The average distance from the distal anatomical axis to the center of the intercondylar notch was 3.63 ± 2.09 mm.

Ellis 1,2,* 1 Scottish Rite for Children, Dallas, TX 75219, USA; [email protected] (R.C.P.); [email protected] (D.A.P.); [email protected] (P.L.W.) 2 Department of Orthopeadics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75033, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Patellofemoral instability (PFI) encompasses symptomatic patellar instability, patella subluxations, and frank dislocations. Previous studies have estimated the incidence of acute patellar dislocation at 43 per 100,000 children younger than age 16 years. The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) complex is a static soft tissue constraint that stabilizes the patellofemoral joint serving as a checkrein to prevent lateral displacement. The causes of PFI are multifactorial and not attributed solely to anatomic features within the knee joint proper. Specific anatomic features to consider include patella alta, increased tibial tubercle–trochlear groove distance, genu valgum, external tibial torsion, femoral anteversion, and ligamentous laxity. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the evaluation of PFI in the pediatric and adolescent patient with a specific focus on the contributions of coronal and transverse plane deformities. Moreover, a framework will be provided for the incorporation of bony procedures to address these issues.

STOREY AND J. W. LANDELLS Hackney Hospital, London E.9, and Department of Morbid Anatomy, Institute of Pathology, The London Hospital It has often been said that osteoarthrosis of the hip is a relatively static condition, the radiological appearance remaining unchanged over a number of years. It is now recognized, however, that in some cases destructive changes occur (Isdale, 1962; Storey, 1968); some of these may be the result of avascular necrosis. In a proportion of these patients, 'healing' may bring about re-formation of the femoral head and reappearance of the radiological 'joint space'. In the following report this course was observed clinically and radiologically during the last years of the patient's life and correlated with the findings at the postmortem examination. copyright. Case Report The patient was first seen in 1966, when he was 76 years old. He gave a history that 8 years previously, in 1958, he had fallen on his right hip. He attended the Casualty Department, where a radiograph (Fig. 1) was thought to http://ard.bmj.com/ be normal. The pain in the hips disappeared, but returned in 1964, especially on walking, about 18 months before his attendance. He also noticed that his leg had become shorter.
