Study Notes
Phantom Pain - Not Existent
- Phantom pain is not a symptom of a diseased spine.
- The bottom of the spinal spinous process is the pedicle.
- Components of the spine include the pedicle, body, spinous process, transverse process, vertebral foramen, and lamina, Axis (C1).
Spine Anatomy
- Spine parts are labelled on the diagram.
- Cervical, dorsal, lumbar, and pelvic curvatures are depicted.
- Intervertebral foramens are shown.
Hip Bone Anatomy
- Anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS)
- Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
- Posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS)
- Posterior inferior iliac spine (PIIS)
- Iliac crest
- Ischium
- Ischial tuberosity
- Pubic symphysis
- Obturator foramen
- Obturator membrane
Muscles of the Hip
- Muscles located include Iliacus, Psoas major, Psoas minor, Tensor fasciae latae, Quadriceps femoris, Sartorius, and Adductor muscles.
- Erector spinae muscles on the lower back are also depicted in a diagram.
AC Joint Injuries
- AC joint injuries are common in athletes.
- These range from mild sprains to full dislocations.
- The injury usually involves the acromioclavicular ligament, acromion, coracoacromial ligament, clavicle, coracoid process, and glenoid cavity.
- The acromion and clavicle are part of the joint shown.
Scapula Anatomy
- The spine of the scapula and the various fossae (infraspinous, supraspinous) are shown.
