Total questions: 13
Worksheet time: 7mins
What would happen if the round ligament of the femur were completely torn?
The head of the femur degenerates due to avascular necrosis
The femur dislocates laterally
The hip joint becomes hypermobile
There is a loss of sensory innervation to the femoral head
Which of the ligaments of the hip limit excessive extension?
Ligamentum teres and sacrotuberous ligament
Transverse acetabular and round ligament
Superior and inferior bands of iliofemoral, pubofemoral, ischiofemoral
Inguinal ligament and iliopectineal ligament
What nerves provide sensory innervation to the hip joint?
Tibial, common fibular, sural
Femoral, obturator, sciatic, superior gluteal, and inferior gluteal
Pudendal, genitofemoral, ilioinguinal, and perineal
Lateral femoral cutaneous and saphenous
The trochanteric bursa lies between what structures?
Greater trochanter and iliotibial band
Greater trochanter and gluteus maximus
Lesser trochanter and iliopsoas
Greater trochanter and piriformis
The ischial bursa lies between what structures?
Ischial spine and sacrotuberous ligament
Ischial tuberosity and gluteus maximus
Ischial tuberosity and piriformis
Ischial ramus and obturator externus
What is the relationship of the sciatic nerve and the superior and inferior gluteal nerves and vessels to the piriformis muscle?
All nerves pass superior to the piriformis
Sciatic nerve pierces the piriformis while others pass inferior to the piriformis muscle
Superior gluteal nerves and vessels enter above; inferior gluteal nerves and vessels enter below the piriformis
Sciatic and inferior gluteal nerves and vessels pass superior to the piriformis, while the superior gluteal nerves and vessels pass inferiorly
Which gluteal muscle(s) abduct and internally rotate?
Gluteus maximus and piriformis
Gluteus medius and minimus
Quadratus femoris and obturator internus
Tensor fasciae latae only
Which gluteal muscle(s) extend and externally rotate?
Gluteus minimus
Piriformis
Gluteus maximus
Gluteus medius
Which gluteal muscle(s) externally rotate?
Gluteus medius and minimus
Tensor fasciae latae
Gluteus maximus, piriformis, quadratus femoris, superior and inferior gemelli, internal and external obturators
Adductor longus, piriformis, quadratus lumborum, gluteus medius, adductor magnus, and tensor fasciae latae
Damage to the superior gluteal nerve will affect which muscles?
Gluteus maximus only
Piriformis and quadratus femoris
Gluteus medius and minimus, and tensor fasciae latae
Obturator internus and externus
Damage to the superior gluteal nerve will affect which actions?
Hip adduction, internal rotation, and flexion
Knee extension
Ankle plantarflexion
Hip extension and external rotation
Damage to the inferior gluteal nerve will affect which muscles?
Gluteus medius and minimus
Piriformis
Gluteus maximus
Obturator internus
Damage to the inferior gluteal nerve will affect which actions?
Internal rotation of the hip
Hip abduction
External rotation of the hip
Knee extension
