Iliopsoas muscle Head in front of ob-turator foramen Fig. 144.—Forward dislocation of hip and fracture at middle of shaft of femur show-ing action of muscles of pelvis and upper portion of hip (iliopsoas, obturators, etc.), incausing the upper fragment to be pulled upward and outward, and the lower fragment tobe pulled upward and inward by the adductor muscles. Made from #-ray picture. 45i Action of ro tators of hip Elevation of trochanter above Roser-Nelaton line Eversion offoot
Text Appearing After Image:
Fig. 145.—Fracture of neck of femur (from x-ray picture) showing action of rotatorsof hip and iliopsoas muscle in causing shortening and rotation outward of lower extremity(eversion of foot, etc.). 453 THE THIGH. 455 is most likely to break here in elderly people. A slight fall upon thetrochanter will cause either an impacted or a non-impacted fracture(see Fig. 145). The limb is shorter, the trochanter lies above theRoser-Nelaton line, and it is rotated outward. At the same time thetense fascia lata, extending from the crest of the ilium to the trochanter,is relaxed. Such a fracture of the neck of the femur may occur as the resultof violence in young people. A separation of the head from the neckmay occur in children at the upper epiphyseal cartilage, and also aseparation of the trochanteric epiphysis (see Fig. 116), but are rare. The Thigh. The gluteal (buttock) and subinguinal (groin) regions and the hip-joint have been described above. The skin is firmer and not very elastic.Ther
