applications. Be sure to understand key relationships, sites of attachment, and surface
anatomy landmarks:

i. Iliac crest
ii. Anterior superior iliac spine
iii. Anterior inferior iliac spine
iv. Posterior superior iliac spine
v. Posterior inferior iliac spine
vi. Greater and lesser sciatic notches
vii. Ischial spine
viii. Ischial tuberosity
ix. Ischial ramus
x. Superior and inferior pubic rami
xi. Auricular surface
xii. Acetabulum
xiii. Obturator foramen
xiv. Iliac fossa
b. Femur
i. Head (and fovea)

iii. Greater and lesser trochanters
iv. Shaft
 Linea aspera
3. Identify the structures of the hip joint, including how they relate to the clinical applications.
Be sure to understand their general function:
a. Hip joint:
 Iliofemoral ligament
 Pubofemoral ligament

i. Acetabular labrum
ii. Transverse acetabular ligament
iii. Acetabular fossa
iv. Ligament of the head of the femur
Clinical Applications:
