    Study Notes

    Hip Joint Biomechanics and Lower Limb Articular Anatomy

    • The hip joint can have a normal femoral neck angle, decreased femoral neck angle (coxa vara), or increased femoral neck angle (coxa valga).
    • The anteversion angle between the neck and shaft in the coronal plane is typically 15-20 degrees anterior to the coronal plane.
    • Acetabular version is typically anteverted 15 degrees and abducted laterally 45 degrees.
    • The center of gravity in humans is just anterior to S2 and plays a role in hip joint extension and flexion through tilting of the pelvis.
    • Biomechanically, the hip joint operates as a first-order lever, with forces from body weight and abductor muscles acting across the joint.
    • Coxa valga is characterized by a lower greater trochanter (GT), reduced abductor lever arm, and increased joint reaction force.
    • Coxa vara is characterized by a higher GT, increased abductor lever arm, decreased joint reaction force, and potential abductor inefficiency.
    • The Trendelenburg sign indicates hip abductor muscle weakness, leading to a compensatory lateral lean of the trunk towards the painful stance limb.
    • Using a cane ipsilaterally decreases the force exerted by body weight on the loaded hip, while using a cane contralaterally assists abductor muscles in providing counter-torque.
    • The thigh's surface anatomy includes the sartorius, quadriceps, adductor longus, and hamstring muscles, each with specific functions related to hip and knee movement.
    • The lower limb's knee and ankle articulation involve the tibiofemoral joint, patellofemoral complex, and menisci, and have distinct ranges of motion and joint characteristics.
    • Genu valgum and genu varum are conditions affecting the knee joint, leading to compression and damage in the lateral and medial compartments, respectively.

    Anatomy and Biomechanics of the Knee and Ankle

    • The anatomical axis of the knee coincides with the diaphysis axis at a 6-7° valgus angle with respect to the mechanical axis.
    • The anatomical and mechanical axis of the tibia coincide, with a 1-2° varus angle.
    • The epiphyseal axis of the tibia forms a constant 90 +/- 2 degrees angle to the lateral tibial plateau.
    • The knee flexion-extension occurs in the sagittal plane, involving the transepicondylar axis, ACL/PCL, MCL/LCL, and a complex muscular mechanism.
    • The biomechanics of flexion/extension involve the hamstrings, quadriceps femoris, detensioning of ligaments, and limited extension by tensioning of LCA/LCP.
    • The first biomechanical model, the 4 bars linkage, improves flexion by delaying femur-tibia contact and enhances extension.
    • The ACL and PCL should be isometric, stiff, and not extendible throughout the entire range of motion.
    • There is a movement of automatic rotation in the knee, with extension leading to external rotation and flexion to internal rotation.
    • The screw-home rotation allows full knee extension and flexion by external rotation of the tibia and foot tip in the last degrees of extension.
    • The patello-femoral joint is affected by axial and torsional deformities of the lower limb, with the patella increasing the effectiveness of quadriceps tension during extension.
    • The Q angle, formed by the quadriceps muscle and the patellar tendon, affects the patello-femoral joint and is influenced by lower limb deformities.
    • The ankle is a ginglymus joint with a talus biconcave dome and lateral ankle ligaments (ATFL, CFL, PTFL) that strain in specific movements.
