Anatomy of the Lower Limb Joints of the lower limb Joint Head of femur Lunate surface of acetabulum Acetabular fossa Acetabular labrum Transverse acetabular ligament Acetabular notch/foramen Ligament of head of femur The synovial membrane Function • Articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvic bone • Curved/horse shoe articular surface that surrounds acetabular fossa • For articulation with head of femur • Where the head of the femur articulates • It contains loose connective tissue which is covered by synovial membrane • Attached to the margin of the acetabulum • fibrocartilaginous collar • soft-tissue structure which lines the acetabular rim of the hip joint • provide seal around the femoral head • strong flat ligament that bridges the acetabular notch creating the acetabular foramen • • • • • • • • formed by the bony margins of the acetabular notch and completed by the transverse ligament of the hip serve for the attachment of the ligament of the head of the femur a flattened triangular band of connective tissue controversial role has a space between the articulating bones lines synovial cavities covers all non-weight bearing surfaces inside the joint it secretes synovial fluid has phagocytes, nourishes structures within the joint cavity, coating and lubrication f moving parts of the joint and maintains joint stability The fibrous • A membrane composed entirely of fibrous connective tissue membrane Ligaments of the lower limb Ligament Iliofemoral Pubofemoral Ischiofemoral Pelvic Bones Function tightens and brings the femoral head tightly into the acetabulum when standing upright, and this prevents hyperextension of the hip joint. tightens during extension and abduction of the hip joint, preventing overabduction. limits internal rotation of the hip.
