Hip Joint: Embryology, Anatomy and Biomechanics

Abstract: Introduction: Hip joint is matchless developmentally, anatomically and physiologically. It avails both mobility and stability. As the structural linkage between the axial skeleton and lower limbs, it plays a pivotal role in transmitting forces from the ground up and carrying forces from the trunk, head, neck and upper limbs down. This Article reviews the embryology, anatomy and biomechanics of the hip to give a hand in diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of hip disorders.Discussion: Exact knowledge about devel… Show more

“…This force acts vertically and symmetrically on both sides of the hip joint. [14,32] When standing on one leg, the hip on that side carries the weight of the head, trunk, upper leg, and lower leg on the other side. This weight is concentrated at the center of gravity and is exerted on the hip as an axial load.…”

“…During the fourth to sixth week of an embryo's development within the uterus, the cavity begins to form. Precartilaginous patterning appears in the seventh week of pregnancy, and by the eighth week of development, the acetabulum has completed its development in its entirety (3) . When the femoral head is not adequately articulated inside the shallow acetabular cavity, a frequent congenital condition known as hip dislocation results.…”

“…Hip abductor muscles play an important role in stabilizing the pelvis during gait, which allows the body to effectively maintain balance and lower limb mobility [ 1 ]. This group of muscles includes the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae, but the gluteus medius is the main hip abductor muscle [ 2 , 3 ].…”
