PY - 2014 T2 - Simon’s Emergency Orthopedics, 7e AB - The proximal femur consists of a femoral head and neck as well as a greater and lesser trochanter (Fig. 18–1). The hip joint is a ball and socket joint composed of the head of the femur and the acetabulum. This articulation has many palpable bony landmarks. The anterosuperior iliac spine and the greater trochanter are easily palpated laterally, and the pubic symphysis and the tubercle (lying 1 in lateral to the symphysis) are palpated medially. The hip joint is capable of a very wide range of motion. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessphysiotherapy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1103539393 ER -
