Introduction[edit | edit source]
The hip joint is a synovial joint with articulation between the femoral head and the acetabulum of the pelvis. The rounded femoral head sits within the cup-shaped acetabulum of pelvis.
Arterial Supply[edit | edit source]
Arterial supply of hip joint is by the cruciate and trochanteric anastomoses supply . A branch from the posterior branch of the obturator artery may also be present in the ligamentum teres.
Cruciate anastomosis
- Transverse branch of medial circumflex femoral artery
- Transverse branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery
- Ascending branch of first perforator artery from profunda femoris artery
- Descending branch of inferior gluteal artery
- Obturator artery
Trochanteric anastomosis
- Descending branch of superior gluteal artery
- Ascending branch of medial circumflex femoral artery
- Ascending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery
- Inferior gluteal artery[1][2]
