| Applied anatomy | |
| Dislocations | |
Dislocation of the hip joint may cause injury to the surrounding structures e.g. the sciatic nerve if posterior or femoral nerve and vessels if anterior . |
|
| Surgical Approach | |
The hip joint is frequently approached anterolaterally by opening a wedge between sartorius and tensor fascia lata. In this position only rectus femoris covers the hip joint capsule. |
|
| Joint Replacement | |
| In severe damage of the hip joint e.g. by arthritis hip replacement may be done using a steel prosthesis. It may be partial when only one component is replaced or total when both components are replaced | |
| Psoas Bursa | |
 |
Communication of the psoas bursa with the joint cavity may provide a route for spread of infection. |
Femoral neck Fracture |
|
| Avascular Necrosis In intracapuslar fractures of the neck of the femur, the retinaculae and contained vessels may be torn. This leads to necrosis of the proximal fragment. proximal segment. |
|
| Pain / Discomfort | |
Pain or discomfort in the hip region may be due to disorders from a distance e.g.
