1. Joints can be classified by structure and by function. How would you
structurally and functionally classify the joint involved in the injury in this case? 2. Name the six distinguishing features that define the structural classification of the joint involved in this injury. 3. The doctors noted that there were no bone fragments in the joint space. What is normally found in this space? 4. Surgeons had to remove a portion of Mrs. Tanner’s acetabular labrum. What is this structure and what function does it supply at this joint? 5. The doctors noted that Mrs. Tanner’s thigh was flexed at the hip, adducted, and medially rotated. Describe what this means in terms of
the position of her leg. 6. Hip dislocations can be classified as anterior or posterior depending on which direction the head of the femur is facing after it dislocates. Based on the description you provided in question 5, which type of dislocation did Mrs. Tanner suffer? 7. In order to assess the joint as part of Mrs. Tanner’s rehabilitation, clinicians would want to assess all of the movements that normally occur at the hip. List all the movements that the clinicians will need to assess.
