The hip joint is one of the true ball-and-socket joints of the body. The hip socket is called the acetabulum and forms a deep cup that surrounds the ball of the upper thigh bone, known as the femoral head. The thick muscles of the buttock at the back and the thick muscles of the ...
The most common risk factor for a labral tear in runners is FAI (femoroacetabular impingement). This means that you have extra bone along the ball and/or socket of your hip joint. FAI in itself is not a problem, and everyone’s anatomy will always ...
The hip joint is one of the largest weight-bearing joints in the body. This ball-and-socket joint allows the leg to move and rotate while keeping the body stable and balanced. Let's take a closer look at the main parts of...
The end of the femur is hollowed out and a metal implant is placed into the top of the femur. A metal or ceramic ball component is attached to the stem of the implant and the new ball and socket components are joined to create the new hip joint. Total Hip Replacement: This procedure...
Canine hip dysplasia is a common orthopedic condition, where the ball and socket of the hip joint either does not fit or develop properly, causing the hip to rub and grind leading to eventual joint deterioration. Common Causes of Hip Dysplasia in Dogs There are several factors that can lead ...
The hip labrum is a ring of cartilage that lines the edge of the hip socket. It helps to stabilize the joint and prevent the femoral head from slipping out of place. When the labrum is damaged or torn, it can lead to pain, instability, and a range... ...
visualization of debris from most parts of the joint. Indications of a potentially septic hip include fever,chills, and hip pain, with the patient often protecting the painful joint by keeping the hip flexed, abducted, and externally rotated to maximize potential joint space.31...
My problem was that when I cycled, sat or did anything where my hip joint was 'closed', I would have intense localised pain in the front of my hip. If I persisted with the exercise, my hip would eventually lock in a closed position for a short while. I had a cortizone injection ...
In this study, a novel design for a compact, lightweight, agile, omnidirectional three-legged robot involving legs with four degrees of freedom, utilizing an spherical parallel mechanism with an additional non-redundant central support joint for the robot hip structure is proposed. The general desig...
