Study Notes

Hip and Pelvis

The iliolumbar ligament limits hip extension.
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket type of joint.

Knee Joint

The knee joint is a hinge type of joint.
The ligamentum mucosum is intraarticular in the knee joint.
The main movements allowed by the knee joint are flexion and extension.

Ankle and Lower Limb

The ankle joint allows dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, and eversion movements.
The femoral artery forms Scarpa's triangle or femoral triangle.
The saphenous nerve is a sensory branch from the femoral nerve.

Joints and Ligaments

The iliofemoral ligament limits hip flexion.
The pubofemoral ligament limits hip abduction.
The articular surfaces of the femoropatellar joint are the patella and the patellar surface of the femur.
The articular surfaces of the femorotibial joint are the lateral and medial condyles of the femur and the tibia.

Pelvic Bone

The ilium, ischium, and pubis bones fuse to form each pelvic bone.
The ilium bone is superior in each pelvic bone.

Hip Joint

The articular surfaces of the hip joint are the acetabulum of the pelvic bone and the head of the femur.
The hip joint is a synovial articulation.
The major function of the lower limb joints is to support the body's weight and facilitate movement.
The femur bone forms a synovial articulation with the acetabulum of the pelvic bone.

Lower Limb

The fibula bone is not part of the pelvic bone.
The tibia bone is not part of the upper limb.
The ilium bone is broadest superiorly.
The hip joint supports the weight of the body when standing.
The coxofemoral joint is formed by the pelvis and femur bones.
