Term
Angle of Inclination
Definition
"Normal" angle places the greater trochanter in-line with the middle of femoral head.
Normal angle is 120, with women having a smaller angle.
Term
Coxa Valga
Definition
Greater angle of Inclination means more likely to dislocate.
Decreased EA of abducter muscles.
Term
Coxa Vara
Definition
Smaller angle of Inclination means more stable, greater chance of neck fracture.
Increased EA of abducter muscles.
Term
Center Edge Angle
Definition
Greater angle indicates more of the femur is covered by the acetabulum (greater inferior tilt.)
Term
Ischiofemoral Ligament
Definition
Limits excessive hyperextension.
Spiral arrangement.
Term
Illiofemoral Ligament
Definition
Limits excessive hyperextension.
Creates "Z" pattern.
Term
Normal Physiological Valgus
Definition
Greater valgus is "knock-kneed", women have greater angle.
Normal angle is between 185-190
Term
Genu Valgum
Definition
Medial ligament tears.
Term
Genu Varum
Definition
It band syndrome.
Compression forces on meniscus.
Term
McMurray Test
Definition
Tests for tears in the meniscus.
Term
Lachman's Test
Definition
Test the ACL.
Brace the thigh, push down on femur and up on tibia.
Term
Anterior Drawer Test
Definition
Tibia is pushed to test for ACL weakness.
Term
"Un-Happy" Injury Triad
Definition
The MCL, ACL, and the medial meniscus are often injured simultaneously due to a valgus force.
Term
