This flashcard set delves into the anatomy and positioning of the pelvis and hip, focusing on key structures like the iliac crest, trochanters, and angles of the femur. It covers the divisions of the hip bone, including the ilium, ischium, and pubis, and explains their relationships to the acetabulum. The set is valuable for medical students and professionals needing precise anatomical knowledge for accurate diagnosis and treatment, particularly in radiography and orthopedics.

Angle of neck to shaft
- Avg adult= 125 degrees (+/-15) depending on width of pelvis and length of lower limb
- Ex:Long-leg/narrow pelvis-changes angle of neck to 140 degrees
- Ex: short/wider pelvis- angle 110 to 115 degrees
Longitudinal plane of femur
- 10 degree from verticle
- Vertical angle is nearer 15 degrees on wide pelvis/Short Limb ➡️ 5 degrees on long leg person
Head and neck in relation to body of femur
- 15 to 20 degrees anterior angle
- Head projects anteriorly/ forward
- In positioning femur must be rotated 15 to 20 degrees.This place for femoral neck parallel to the IR for true AP projection of the proximal femur
What is the meaning of the word pelvis?
Basin
The greater trochanter is located And To the femoral shaft
- Superiority
- Laterally
Lesser trochanter projects And From the junction of the neck and shaft of femur
- Medially
- Postetiorly
The trochanter are joined posteriorly by a thick ridge called
Intertrochanter crest
