SACROILIAC JOINT (SI joint) ANATOMY

  Structure and kinematics Itis the joint between the sacrum and the ilium. Type of joint ; Bi-condylar, Synovial, non-axial, Plane joint Shape of joint ; C-shaped or L-shaped Movement ; small amount of movement (2-18◦) Close-pack position; full nutation Translational motion ; 1-2 mm Rotational motion ; 0.2-2◦ Function; Antagonist innominate tilt during gait Transmit weight from the upper body through the vertebral column to the hip bones Great stability and has very little mobility Connects pelvis to spine Absorbs vertical forces from spine and transmits them to pelvis and lower extremities. It functions as shock absorber for the spine above and conversion of torque from the lower extremities into the rest of the body. JOINT MOTION Motion that occur at the SI joint are; Nutation Also referred as Sacral flexion. It occurs when the base of the sacrum moves anteriorly and inferiorly, causing the inferior portion of the sacrum and c...

ACETABULUM FRACTURE-PHYSIOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT

ANATOMY OF ACETABULUM On the outer surface of the hip bone is a deep depression, called the acetabulum, the large cup-shaped acetabulum for articulation with the head of the femur is on the lateral surface of the pelvic bone in the region where the ilium, pubis, and ischium fuse. The articular surface of the acetabulum is limited to a horseshoe-shaped area and is covered with hyaline cartilage. The floor of the acetabulum is non-articular and is called the acetabular fossa The margin of the acetabulum is marked inferiorly by a prominent notch (acetabular notch). The wall of the acetabulum consists of non-articular and articular parts:  ■ the non-articular part is rough and forms a shallow circular depression (the acetabular fossa) in central and inferior parts of the acetabular floor — the acetabular notch is continuous with the acetabular fossa;  ■ the articular surface is broad and surrounds the anterior, superior, and posterior margins of the acetabular fossa.
