| Description | Biomechanics is the science which deals with the study of forces, either internal or external, acting on the living body. The depth of the acetabulum and the narrowing at the mouth by the acetabulum labrum, along with the length and obliquity of the femur, are contributory factors. The mobility is mainly due to its long neck, which is narrower than the diameter of the head. The neck of the femur is angulated to the shaft in two planes, namely sagittal and coronal. An axis through the femoral head and neck in the transverse plane will lie at an angle through the femoral condyles, with the head and neck torsioned anteriorly with regard to an angle through the femoral condyles. Anteversion of the femoral head reduces hip joint stability because the femoral articular surface is more exposed anteriorly. An anteverted femur also affects the biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint at the knee and of the subtalar joints of the foot. Book Name: The Hip Joint |
