Across
- 3. Superior border of the Ilium
- 4. Group of anterior muscles of the hip; iliacus, psoas, rectus femoris & sartorius
- 6. Ball of the Hip Joint
- 9. Forms the socket of the Ball & Socket joint of the hip; Insertion site for the head of the femur
- 11. Disruption of blood flow to the head of the femur causing bone tissue to die
- 14. Articulation between the sacrum and ilium
- 15. Bleeding creates deposits of minerals in a concentrated area leading to calcification and bone growth within soft tissue strctures
- 17. Support to the vertebral colum & allows articulation between the trunk & lower limbs
- 20. Most superior & largest portion of the hip bone and attachment site for the Hip Flexors
- 22. Fused portion of the spinal column that forms the SI joint with the Ilium of the hip
- 24. Group of posterior muscles of the hip; gluteus maximus and hamstrings
- 26. Inferior portion of the hip and contains the Ischial Tuberosity which is the attachment site for the hamstrings
Down
- 1. Muscle attachement site on the most proximal/lateral aspect of the femur; just distal to the femoral neck
- 2. Longitudinal fibrous reinforcement of the Tensor Fascia Latte muscle; Runs on the lateral Hip/Thigh and is responsible for Hip Abduction
- 5. Pubic symphysis is repeatedly stressed and surrounding muscles become inflamed
- 7. Contusion to the Iliac Crest caused by direct trauma
- 8. Knee Extensors; Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Intermedialis
- 10. Boney prominence located on the iliac crest and serves as an attachment for the quadriceps
- 11. Muscle attachment site Inferior to the Greater Trochanter of the femur
- 12. Medial/Inferior portion of the hip bone and attachment site for groin muslces
- 13. Knee Flexors/Hip Extensors; Biceps Femoris, Semimembranosus; Semitendinosus
- 16. Primary hip flexor
- 18. Attached to the edge of teh acetabulum; fibrotic tissue that extends the edge to secure femur in place and act as a shock absorber.
- 19. Articulation between the left and right pelvic bones located on the anterior side
- 20. "Sitting bone"; boney prominence located on the Ischium
- 21. Joins Head of Femur to the shaft of the Femur
- 23. Tail bone
- 25. Long bone of the thigh at make up the articulations of the hip and knee
