Acetabular labrum is a fiberocartilage rim
It enhances the depth of acetabulum
Ball and socket - synovial joint
Articular Capsule
Anterior view
Right hip joint
Fibrous layer: Attaches to rim of the acetabulum to neck of the
femur
Synovial membrane: Lines the fibrous layer along with bony
surfaces not lined with articular cartilage

Trochanteric Bursa & Ischial Bursa
Bursa:
They are sac like structures filled with synovial fluid
that cushion movement. Strategically situated to alleviate
friction – between muscles and boney prominences.

 Short head: Lateral lip
of linea aspera
Insertion: Fibular head
 Action
 Long head: extend hip
 Short head: flex knee
and flex knee
Innervations & vascular supply:
Long head: Sciatic nerve
Short head: Common peroneal nerve and inerior gluteal artery
Origin: Superior ramus of pubis
Insertion: Pectineal line of femur
Action: Hip flexion and adduction
Innervation and vascular supply: Femoral nerve,
Medial circumflex femoral artery
Origin: Posterior sacrum and ilium
Insertion: Posterior femur distal to greater trocanter
Action: Hip extension, hyperextension, lateral rotation

Innervations & vascular supply: Obturator nerve, Obturator artery,
Deep femoral artery
Origin: Lateral ilium
Insertion: Anterior surface of the greater trochanter
Action: Hip abduction, medial rotation
Innervations & vascular supply: Superior gluteal nerve and
Superior gluteal artery
Origin: Internal surface of sacrum, Sacrotuberous
ligament
Insertion: Superior border of greater trochanter
Action: Lateral rotation, abduction, helps hold femur in
aceatabulum
Innervations & vascular supply: L5, S1, and 2
Superior and inferior gluteal arteries
Sciatica
-Irritation of the sciatic nerve due to an injury.
-Pain radiates down the back of the leg. May be confused for a herniated disc.
-Piriformis muscle spasms and compresses against Sciatic nerve against the pelvis.
-MRI (neurography) to help diagnose Piriformis Syndrome.
-PT’s & PTA’s treatment is heat (cold if post-surgical), ultrasound, and massage as well
as stretching exercises.
Botox
-Botox injection to paralyze the
Piriformis muscle.
-Surgery is the last resort.
Origin: Anterior superior iliac spine
Insertion: Lateral condyle of tibia
Action: Combined hip flexion and abduction
Innervations & vascular supply: Superior gluteal nerve,
Superior gluteal artery
