MCQ BIOMECHANICS OF HIP JOINT

:Q:As regard HIP joint

.Is Synovial joint -1
.Is a ball-and-socket joint -2
Is the articulation between the pelvic acetabulum and -3
.the femoral head
The primary function of hip joint is to support the -4
.body weight during daily activities
Transmit forces between the torso (trunk) and the lower -5
.extremities
Is Triaxial joint i.e. 3 degree of freedom i.e. Hip motion -6
takes place in all three planes: sagittal (flexion-extension),
frontal (abduction-adduction), and transverse (internal .external rotation)
.More stable than the shoulder -7
?Q: Where is the weakest point of the femur
A. head

B. neck
C. shaft
D. greater trochanter
Q: Which of the following is true regarding femoral Angle
of torsion?
A Torsion angle is the angle between the axis
through the femoral head and neck and the axis
through the femoral condyles.

B Normal angle of torsion in an adult is 10 - 20.

C Angles greater than 12is known as Anteversion.
Retroversion is an angle of less than 12.
D Femoral Anteversion in a newborn is approximately
400
E Angle of torsion decreases substantially in the first
1

two years of life.

A. None of the above

B. All of the above.

Q: Due to the trabecular patterns in the femur, which

region of the hip is most susceptible to fractures as a result
of bending forces?
A. the femoral head
B. the femoral neck
C. the superior portion of the acetabulum
D. the greater trochanter
E. both C and D
Q: The most common non-traumatic cause of femoral neck
fracture is:
A. excessive hip flexion and internal rotation
B. excessive hip extension and external rotation
C. excessive hip adduction and internal rotation
D.excessive hip flexion and external rotation
E. none of the above
?Q: Which of the following causes hip adduction
A. adductor magnus
B. adductor longus
C. adductor brevis

D. all of the choices cause hip adduction

?Q: Which of the following causes hip abduction
A. gluteus medius
B. gluteus minimus
C. gluteus maximus
D. both gluteus medius and minimus
2

E. all of the choices cause hip abduction

Q: As regards MOVEMENTS OF HIP JOINT which is

:CORRECT
A. IS THREE DEGREE OF FREEDOM

B. FLEXION EXTENSION occur in Sagittal plane---Medio lateral axis

C. ABDUCTION-ADDUCTION occur in Coronal plane-----Anterio Posterio axis

D.MEDIAL LATERAL ROTATION occur in Transverse

plane---- Vertical axis

E. All are correct

Correct answer: D

C. with age (1500 in early infancy 1250 in adults)

D.Increase in the angle is called COXA VALGA (>

1250)
E. Decrease in the angle is called COXA VARA (<
1250)
