Test Your Knowledge of Hip Anatomy and Muscle Function

Hip Anatomy and Innervation

• The posterior part of the labrum has a poor prognosis if torn.
• The obturator nerve innervates the adductor group of muscles in the hip.

Bursae in the Hip Region

• The trochanteric bursa is a superficial bursa located near the trochanteric region of the hip.

Screening Muscles in the Hip Joint

• The iliopsoas muscle is primarily being screened for when testing the angle of the hip joint.

Innervation of the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve

• The lumbar nerve (L2-L3) innervates the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN).

Blood Supply to the Labrum

• The posterior part of the labrum has a poor blood supply, making tears in this area have a poor prognosis.

Test your knowledge of hip anatomy and the muscles involved in hip movement with this quiz. Learn about the importance of the labrum and the blood supply to the femoral head. Discover how the angle of the hip joint affects muscle pull and find out which muscle is being screened for. Challenge yourself to identify the muscles involved in hip abduction, adduction, external rotation, internal rotation, and flexion. Explore the connection between the obturator muscles and the pelvic floor.
