Term
Articulation between the auricular surfaces of the ilium and sacrum
Definition
Sacroiliac joint
Term
Articulation between the pubic crests and the pubic symphysis
Definition
pubic symphysis joint
Term
articulation between the head of the fibula and the lateral condyle of the tibia
Definition
proximal tibiofibular joint
Term
Strong connective tissue connecting the 5th lumbar transverse process to the sacrum. Helps to strengthen the lumbosacral joint
Definition
Lumbosacral ligament
Term
Strong connective tissue connecting the 5th lumbar transverse process to the ilium. Helps to strengthen the lumbosacral joint
Definition
Iliolumbar ligament
Term
surround sacroiliac joint anteriorly.
Definition
Anterior sacro-iliac ligament
Term
Surround sacroiliac joint posteriorly
Definition
Posterior sacro-iliac ligament
Term
connects the ischial spine to the sacrum and along with the sacrotuberous ligament, converts the greater and lesser sciatic notches into the greater and lesser sciatic foramen
Definition
sacrospinous ligament
Term
connects the ischial tuberosity to the sacrum and along with the sacrospinous ligament, converts the greater and lesser sciatic notches into greater and lesser sciatic foramen
Definition
sacrotuberous ligament
Term
connects the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic crest
Definition
inguinal ligament
Term
located above the pubic symphysis joint. Prevents excessive superior translation (movement) of the joint
Definition
superior pubic ligament
Term
located below the pubic symphysis joint. Prevents excessive superior translation (movement) of the joint
Definition
inferior pubic ligament
Term
Fibrous band of fascia running from the ilium to the lateral condyle of the tibia. Serves as an attachment to the tensor fasciae latae and the gluteus maximus
Definition
Iliotibial band
Term
connective tissue that encircles and deepens the acetabulum to increase articulation w/the femoral head
Definition
acetabular labrum
Term
connects the fovea capitis to the ace tabular fossa to strengthen the hip joint
Definition
ligamentum teres
Term
"y-ligament", supports the anterior hip in the standing posture. Resists extension and external rotation
Definition
Iliofemoral ligament
Term
also on the anterior hip, primarily resists abduction and extension
Definition
pubofemoral ligament
Term
Located posteriorly, resists extension, adduction and internal rotation.
Definition
ischiofemoral ligament
Term
tendon for the four quadriceps muscles, attaches to the patella and inserts on the tibial tuberosity via the patella ligament
Definition
quadriceps femoris tendon
Term
ligament connecting the quadriceps tendon and the patella to the tibial tuberosity
Definition
patellar ligament
