The Kolyma Highway has been colloquially called the Road of Bones (Russian: Дорога Костей Doróga Kostéy). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Locally, the road is known as the Kolyma Route ( Russian : Колымская трасса Kolýmskaya trássa ).
The zona orbicularis and proximal hip joint capsule are poorly understood. Recent studies seem to confirm that the proximal to middle part of the articular capsule, including the zona orbicularis, acts biomechanically as a locking ring wrapped around the femoral neck and thus is a key structure for hip stability in distraction.
There are three bones of the os coxae (hip bone) that come together to form the acetabulum. Contributing a little more than two-fifths of the structure is the ischium, which provides lower and side boundaries to the acetabulum. The ilium forms the upper boundary, providing a little less than two-fifths of the structure of the acetabulum.
A teardrop-shaped lower portion gives origin to the iliofemoral ligament of the hip joint and borders the rim of the acetabulum. [ 1 ] Anteromedially and inferiorly to the AIIS is the iliopsoas groove , the passage for the iliopsoas muscle as it passes down to the lesser trochanter of the femur .
The ischiofemoral ligament limits the internal rotation and adduction of the hip when it is in a flexed position. [3] Some deeper fibres of the ligament are continuous with the fibres of the zona orbicularis of the capsule. [4] This ligament is less well-defined than the other two capsular ligaments of the hip joint. [4]
In vertebrate anatomy, the hip, or coxa [1] (pl.: coxae) in medical terminology, refers to either an anatomical region or a joint on the outer (lateral) side of the pelvis.. The hip region is located lateral and anterior to the gluteal region, inferior to the iliac crest, and lateral to the obturator foramen, with muscle tendons and soft tissues overlying the greater trochanter of the femur. [2]
The iliopectineal arch is a thickened band of fused iliac fascia and psoas fascia [1] passing from the posterior aspect of the inguinal ligament anteriorly across the front of the femoral nerve to attach to the iliopubic eminence of the hip bone posteriorly.
3D model of human hip bone. The ischium forms the lower and back part of the hip bone and is located below the ilium and behind the pubis. The ischium is the strongest of the three regions that form the hip bone. It is divisible into three portions: the body, the superior ramus, and the inferior ramus. The body forms approximately one-third of ...
